Woods Cops Mysteries Synopsis: Ice Hunter is the first Woods Cop Mystery by Joseph Heywood. Diamonds are found in the forests of the Upper Peninsula, which means not only are all sorts of greedy people are coming into the area with picks, shovels and dreams, but also brings in several scam artists as well. This causes nothing but headaches for the U.P.’s conservation officers who prefer the solitude of the woods.
