Book Signing: Blue Lake, a Wisconsin environmental thriller by La Crosse Native Jeffrey D. Boldt
"Blue Lake is at once a legal thriller, a romance, a mystery, and a poignant defense of the waters, woods and wildlife of the Upper Midwest. Warm and generous, serious and comic, eloquent and thoughtful, the novel underscores the ongoing tension between humans and our environment and ultimately celebrates the natural beauty we continue to take for granted." Lindsay Starck, author, Noah's Wife
"The personal meets the political in spectacular fashion in Jeffrey Boldt's suspenseful tale about the lengths people will go to exploit and protect natural resources. Boldt's experience as an attorney and judge informs this taut, well-crafted legal thriller, and he provides an inside look at how competing interests duke it out while climate change looms, and the stakes couldn't be higher." Christina Clancy, author of Shoulder Season and The Second Home
"Part love story, courtroom drama, and thoughtful meditation on pressing environmental concerns, Blue Lake is also a well-observed and stirring love letter to the Upper Midwest." Ted Thompson, author, The Land of Steady Habits. His novel was adapted into a film for Netflix by Nicole Holofcener.
"A smart legal thriller. Boldt does for the wilds of the Upper Midwest what Grisham did to the backwoods of the Deep South." Stephan Eirik Clark, author of Sweetness #9
