A Long Ways from Home
by Mike Martin

---

A weekend visit to picturesque Newfoundland by a large crew of outlaw bikers leaves behind another mess for Sgt. Windflower to clean up. This time he’s facing violence, murder, mystery and intrigue. This adventure has Windflower questioning everything he thought he knew. There are troubles on the home front, cutbacks in the policing budget, old friends leaving and new ones not quite here yet. Windflower is seeking to find answers in territory that is both dangerous and unfamiliar. This instalment in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series has our hero dashing all over the beautiful little island of Newfoundland. Along the way he never wavers in his pursuit of justice. But he stills tries to find a way to enjoy the natural beauty that lays all around him, and to bring out the best from everybody he meets. A Long Ways from Home is about more than just homicides or the dirty dealings of outlaw bikers. It is also about helping people and communities face up to and overcome new and very difficult challenges. Windflower relies on his friends and allies, including some four-legged ones, to help him and them find the answers. He also discovers that we are never really alone, even when we are a long ways from home.

Praise for the Sgt. Windflower Mystery Series “Be prepared to be charmed by Windflower, a food-loving sergeant who could be possibly be Canada’s most polite Mountie.” — Halifax Chronicle-Herald “A Twist of Fortune is compelling story telling, a change of pace from action without reason and a celebration of life that includes crime solving.” — Don Graves, D.D. Mystery Review “Martin loads his pages with competing subplots that stave off any lulls. This lighthearted, entertaining series never bores.” — Kirkus Reviews
