Death Rides the Ferry
Patricia Skalka
The Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery Series
Book 4
Winner of the Midwest Book Award for Fiction—Mystery/Thriller
Sheriff Dave Cubiak is ensnared in a killer's cunning gambit
After a long absence, the Viola da Gamba Music Festival returns to picturesque Washington Island on the tip of the Door County peninsula where Sheriff Dave Cubiak enjoys a rare day off. Tourists and a documentary film crew hover around the musicians, but the jubilant mood quickly evaporates when a body is found aboard the local ferry.
Residents recall the disastrous festival decades earlier, when a woman died and the fabled yellow viol vanished without a trace. Linking the past with the present, and with the lives of those he holds most dear in peril, Cubiak pursues a ruthless killer into the stormy northern reaches of Lake Michigan.

Past president of Sisters in Crime Chicagoland and a former staff writer at Reader’s Digest, she presents writing workshops throughout the United States. Skalka divides her time between Milwaukee and Door County, Wisconsin.
