Crosslake author and columnist Mike Holst announces the release of his 10th book, "Visions of Justice."
Readers will be reunited with Torch Brennan, the surly and sometimes churlish old detective from ''Absence of Conscience," released two years ago.
Brennan was bored with his early retirement from the Minneapolis police force. He couldn't forget the many years of living life on the edge that he'd once led, and how now it seemed he had little purpose in life.
Then came a chance to go back and work on a cold case. It was a case that had eluded him for years, and the one "blemish" on his stellar record. They said it was "new evidence" - evidence that would shed a convincing light on who had done it - and so the hunt was back on.
Along with the evidence came a new twist. The man he had pursued for so many years looked more and more innocent with each passing day. Suddenly, Brennan was pursuing him, not to convict him, but to help prove his innocence.

Either way, guilty or innocent, Brennan had to find him. In his search for Barry, the evidence trail takes Brennan from the streets of Minneapolis to the primitive forests of Alaska and back again.
For Barry, proving his innocence was as elusive as it was for the police to prove his guilt, until his subconscious mind slowly started to unravel, and bit-by-bit the truth was revealed.
This is Holst's 10th published fiction novel. Holst lives and writes in Crosslake, where he has long been active as a columnist and freelance writer.
