Color Tour - (Ray Elkins Thrillers) by Aaron Stander (Paperback)

About the Book

Sheriff Ray Elkins solves crimes at an elite private school.

Book Synopsis

It's a tranquil October morning in northwest lower Michigan, a rural paradise of cherry orchards, blue lakes, and sandy shorelines. The serenity of the day-- and the season--shatters when an elderly woman walking her dogs along the beach stumbles upon the bodies of a brutally murdered couple.

Sheriff Ray Elkins returns from his debut in Summer People to track down the elusive killer of a vivacious and spirited young teacher. His search takes him into the dark side of an elite private school--and into his own long-forgotten past. As Elkins unravels the mystery, the hunter becomes the hunted and one intrigue leads to another in this page-turner you won't want to miss.

Review Quotes

"Elegantly, artfully crafter, Color Tour is a thriller of the first order. Stander's storytelling is enthralling and after you've finished, the book sends out echoes, like a bell tolling in a stand of autumn woods aflame. Stander evokes these north woods and Lake Michigan with a poet's eye and the dramas of the human heart with a detective's wry, unflinching touch." -Doug Stanton, author of the New York Times bestseller In Harm's Way "Aaron Stander is a writer in firm control of his imaginary powers, and to identify Color Tour as a page-turner is not only to acknowledge its compelling plot, but also its deep affection for character and place, and for the powerful dynamism of language itself. The achievement of this wonderful mystery is not only considerable, it is masterful." -Jack Driscoll, author of How Like An Angel "Aaron Stander has written a mystery we can fall in love with while being wring with suspense. His characters are authentic. His setting-beautiful northern Michigan-is wrought with vivid precision. And his plot, well, to die for! The elements of top-notch storytelling are always in place, holding their color to the last page and the final killing frost-er, twist, I mean." -Anne-Marie Oomen, author of Pulling Down the Barn
