In Door County--the "Cape Cod" of Wisconsin--evil is lurking... As Detective Sydney Bernhardt jogs along the limestone cliff, high above the waters of Lake Michigan, she discovers a child-like body floating face down--arms spread--dark hair haloing the head--the power of each wave rhythmically butting it against the deadly wall. This suspicious death sparks Syd into action to uncover the truth behind the victim's sexually confused past--and to reclaim Syd's own life. But as she follows this complex trail through nature's beauty, Syd unknowingly becomes both a confidante and prey for that evil. "CIRCLE OF INNOCENCE excels in psychological depth and detail even as it exposes a community replete with secrets and hidden threats. Any who want a strong saga of abduction, murder, and evolving danger... with more than a touch of romantic possibility, will find Drews' novel fits the bill." --Diane Donovan ~ Midwest Book Review "Every shocking twist in CIRCLE OF INNOCENCE lands on the reader like waves on a Door County beach, as Drews explores the dark heart of a beautiful place." --Brian Freeman, Bestselling Author of THE BONE HOUSE "Drews' plot has more twists and surprises than the winding back roads of Door County! Whether you're a fan of mystery novels, of Door County, or both, you'll find CIRCLE OF INNOCENCE hard to put down." --Sean Ryan, Director of Door County Century, Door County Triathlon, and the Fall 50

At the turn of the 20th century, cities around the world were rife with syphilis, yet no blood test could prove it. Two women in Green Bay, Wisconsin found their lives destroyed by that simple fact. Mary, an illiterate maid, and Mollie, a college-educated socialite, fell victim to the physical violence and mental abuse of celebrated surgeon Dr. John R. Minahan. To silence them, he claimed they had that shameful and dreaded disease. But as medical science advanced and suffragettes marched for their rights, Mary and Mollie found the courage to stand up for theirs. This is the only full account written about Dr. John R. Minahan, whose family dominated Green Bay's professional, business, and political arenas from 1892 to 1954. Dr. Minahan's wealth built a college stadium, science center, and six-story office building-all named for him-while history lost, or perhaps erased, Mary's and Mollie's heroic stories-until now.
