This article is about the novel. For the location, see West Turtle Lake Club.


This is a romp through the past and the beginnings of the WTLC and Tales of Spearfish Lake. It’s more background of the Spearfish Lake story than anything else. It takes place in 1975 with the beginning of the Mike McMahon era and includes flashbacks to WW2 and on up into the early 1960s. Regular readers will see several scenes that were lifted from this story and used in Forgotten Killer and others in Absent Friend. As a warning there are some decidedly non-P.C. ethnic jokes common for the time period contained herein.

Editor’s Disclaimer

This is a very early story of Wes’s, to our knowledge possibly the second book written by him. If published in the usual chronology, it would be book number three (between Rocinante and Snowplow Extra), with Forgotten Killer counted number one, which though written and published much later takes place before Rocinante. The WTLC was written and until now has never been out of very rough first-draft status. We have left a lot of the original in, so there are timing and geographical discrepancies. In fact you’ll notice that Spearfish Lake hasn’t found a home yet, as one character is mentioned as going to an out-of-state school, the University of Michigan!
