TURTLE LAKE
THE WILD CARD SYNDROME
A literary thriller of strategy, corruption, and the instincts that govern every living thing.
Jim Peters knows how predators think. From a quiet cabin on Turtle Lake, he studies the patterns, weaknesses, and blind spots of the powerful men who built their fortunes at other people’s expense. What follows is a meticulously orchestrated campaign of pressure and exposure, where timing matters, observation is everything, and nature offers the clearest lessons of all.
Turtle Lake combines psychological suspense, corporate intrigue, natural-world philosophy, and an unusually atmospheric Midwestern setting. It appeals to readers who want more than pace alone; they want intelligence, tension, and a novel with a distinct mind behind it.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
“Turtle Lake should be published for the public safety, and to put an unsuspecting business community on notice as to what a character like Jim Peters could do to them.”
—Dan Petrella, Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor, Detroit, MI
“I’ve been in the criminal justice system for 23 years, and Milne’s portrayal of the criminal mind is very accurate. Once I began reading, I could not put it down.”
—George Agnello, Michigan Department of Corrections, Detroit, MI
