UW Press: Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery Series

The Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery Series

By Patricia Skalka

The seven volumes in the award-winning Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery series pit a former Chicago homicide detective against a roster of clever killers on Wisconsin’s Door County peninsula. Haunted by a tragic past, Sheriff Cubiak solves crimes that are rooted in the past. Set against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty in the heart of the Midwest, these regional mysteries deal with universal themes and track Cubiak for twenty years as he moves forward in life. The series kicks off with Death Stalks Door County and continues through Death Casts a Shadow. The books are available in various formats, including jacketed cloth, paperback, e-book, and audio.

Author Patricia Skalka divides her time between Milwaukee and Door County, Wisconsin.
