Comeback: A Gun Pedersen Novel - Paperback

by Lin Enger (Author), Leif Enger (Author)

***NOMINATED FOR AN EDGAR AWARD***

In the midst of substantial personal loss, six-foot-six Gunsten S ren Pedersen, the Detroit Tigers' veteran fence-swinger, walked away from his career and sport that he adored. Retiring to the tranquil solitude of Minnesota's North Woods, Gun left behind disappointed fans and searing press coverage. But a millionaire real estate investor is out to tear apart Gun's new home. Loon Country Attractions comes replete with an amusement park, convention center, and shopping super-center-with vast environmental degradation to boot. The townsfolk are divided, and Gun is further pulled into the center of the chaos when his daughter becomes pawn in a political campaign that's turned ugly. Gun seizes the opportunity for redemption, fighting for everything left that he holds dear. Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Craig Johnson's Longmire, and Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon, may appreciate Engers' Gun Pedersen.
