As former police officer John Cabrelli struggles in the wake of a career-ending event, he retreats to his late uncle's lakeside cabin in Wisconsin… but it's far from the peaceful refuge he expects. Danger awaits - along with the truth behind his uncle's death.

Award-winning author Jeff Nania draws upon careers in law enforcement, conservation, and a passion for our natural resources in his bestselling Northern Lakes Mystery series that keeps readers wondering who is on the right side of the law in the small town of Musky Falls. Figure Eight, the first book in the series, was a winner of the Midwest Book Awards. The series continues with Spider Lake, winner of the Midwest Book Awards, Independent Publisher Book Awards, and Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and Bough Cutter, also a winner of the Independent Publisher Book Awards. Book four is expected in late 2022.

Jeff Nania is a former law enforcement officer, writer, conservationist, and biofuel creator. He is the award-winning author of four fiction books, Figure Eight (2019), Spider Lake (2020), Bough Cutter (2021), and Musky Run (2023) in his Northern Lakes Mystery series.

Jeff was born and raised in Wisconsin. His family settled in Madison's storied Greenbush neighborhood. His father often loaded Jeff, his brothers, and a couple of dogs into an old jeep station wagon and set out for outdoor adventures. These experiences were foundational for developing a sense of community, a passion for outdoor traditions, and a love of our natural resources.

Jeff has been recognized locally, statewide, and nationally. Outdoor Life Magazine named him as one of the nation's 25 most influential conservationists, and he received the National Wetlands Award for his wetland restoration work. The Wisconsin Senate commended Jeff with a joint resolution for his work with wetlands, education, and as a non-partisan advisor on natural resource issues.

Now a full-time novelist, Jeff spends as much time as possible exploring outdoor Wisconsin with his friends and family.
