Death Roe – by Joseph Heywood

 

 

Joseph Heywood’s mystery novel called ‘Death Roe’ is about Grady Service, a detective for Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources. Usually, the people Service pursues are poachers and other violators of fish and game laws.

In this, the sixth book in the series (Woods Cop Mysteries), Service comes across a deadly mare’s nest involving tainted Lake Ontario salmon eggs, intended for bait only, mixed with clean Michigan eggs and sold to cruise lines as caviar.

The eggs were contaminated with the insecticide mirex. The resultant “caviar” can sicken people and even kill them.

Service’s investigation takes him from the wilds of Michigan to Alaska, to New York’s Ukrainian mafia territory and to Costa Rica.
