“Aaron Stander is a writer in firm control of his imaginary powers, and to identify Color Tour as a page-turner is not only to acknowledge its compelling plot, but also its deep affection for character and place and for the powerful dynamism of language itself. The achievement of this wonderful mystery is not only considerable, it is masterful.

—Jack Driscoll, author of How like an Angel

With Color Tour, Aaron Stander has written a mystery we can fall in love with while being wrung with suspense. His characters are authentic—a quiet small-town cop with a lot of smarts—and his pretty but equally savvy female sidekick. His setting—beautiful Leelanau County—is  wrought with vivid precision.  And his plot, well, to die for!  The story rings true because his craft, especially the elements of top-notch storytelling, are always in place, holding their color to the last page and the final twist.

—Anne Marie Oomen, author of Pulling Down the Barn

                     

“A thriller of the first order. Stander’s storytelling is enthralling. Stander evokes these north woods with a poet’s eye and the drama of the human heart and a detective’s wry, unflinching touch.

—New York Times BESTSELLER Doug Stanton,

Author of In Harm’s Way
