"In Porcupine County, nestled in the peaceful landscape of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, lies a small town where the people all know one another and gossip cannot be silenced for long. But there's one secret that someone has tried to keep quiet for years... and those who try to uncover it seem to wind up dead." "Deputy Steve Martinez - Lakota Sioux by birth, white Easterner by upbringing - lost his heart to the region after running away from a secret of his own. After finding the love of his life, Steve was able to take comfort in the land that once had been so good to his ancestors. The peace and quiet is broken when a mob hit man's corpse washes up on the shore of Lake Superior. Then, during a routine police operation, one of Steve's colleagues literally falls over the long-buried body of one of Porcupine County's missing persons... a man who had been last seen alive almost a century ago. The two deaths are seemingly unrelated... at first." "Steve's investigations lead him through shoot-outs and hair-raising flights in a small plane. He is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the peace in the land he loves, but he may find that even in the quietest of towns, some things are better left buried."--BOOK JACKET.

Schwag picks up where Young and Immortal left off, with the introspective poet Eugene and his mischievous muse Horace and their friend Miriam living up their early Twenties on the cusp of the Millenium on the East Side of Milwaukee. Schwag explores the questions of loyalty, addiction, the American Way, casual sex and obsessive love, honesty, meaningless hedonism and significant bullshit. Schwag is not in Oprah's book club. Schwag is the book you borrowed from the bad kid on the playground. Schwag is cheap workingman's dope.
