After a 29-year police career, he is burned out, cynical, and fed up with all the bullshit. He doesn’t care about glory, political correctness, department politics, or “feelings.” All he cares about is getting the bad guy, and he doesn’t care whose toes he steps on or who he pisses off in the process.
Molders is teamed up with brand new detective Brittany Walsh, who Molders thinks was promoted without merit. Walsh is smart, athletic, and has a master’s degree. She is also very beautiful, and she thinks Molders is a dinosaur. They work together, earn each other’s respect, and relentlessly pursue justice.The investigation uncovers a ruthless killer, who thinks he is the devil.
Molders and Walsh chase leads that link a series of brutal murders to their suspect. The investigation and subsequent trial take them through a seamy world of drug dealers, escorts, and drug addicts.

Superior Justice: Murder on Lake Superior
"You can tell that this book is written by someone that knows what he is talking about. He covers a lot of information that only a person familiar with law enforcement, Lake Superior and boating would know. The material is interesting,suspenseful as well as humorous. A real page turner. I highly recommend it!"

Working together through various park incidents they earn each other's respect and bond as a team.

When a second body is found floating in the lake, Molders suspects they have a serial killer and likely more victims. While continuing their daily patrols of the park Molders and Tomaczeski investigate the murders. Their investigation uncovers political corruption, human trafficking, and a serial killer.

Madison Police detective Molders has finally retired after a 29 year career and is living his dream, exploring Lake Superior aboard his 31 foot Gozzard sailboat.
When his plans are interrupted by engine trouble, Molders sails to the Madeline Island Yacht Club for repairs. There, he is reunited with his old detective buddy Ron Helgusen and his old Isle Royale ranger partner, Katelynn “Tommy” Tomaczeski. Coming out of retirement, Ron is now serving as the interim police chief for the tiny La Pointe Police Department on the island and “Tommy” is his only full time police officer.
Ron asks Molders to help him look into some suspicious activity on the island. When the bodies start to pile up, Molders comes out of retirement to help investigate. Molders encounters old friends and old enemies in his pursuit of justice.
The investigation uncovers the presence of ex-military and ex-intelligence operators mysteriously on the island. Further investigation reveals evidence linking murder to the operators efforts to keep their activities secret.
Receiving little help from federal bureaucracies, Molders and his small team, outnumbered and outgunned, battle for justice.
