FOR GCG
In the quiet town of Portage, Wisconsin, everyone thought bookkeeper Emma Schultz was sweet, beautiful, and harmless—they were wrong. Little Creek Press is thrilled to announce the March 2026 release of Emma’s Demise, the gripping new legal thriller from Appleton-based author Roger Skrypczak.
This newest installment in the Portage Murder Mystery series follows a trail of corruption, betrayal, and millions in embezzled funds when a beloved local figure is revealed to be the mastermind behind a chilling series of murders.
A Web of Deceit and Danger
The story pits defense attorney Mike Jorgenson against his most personal and tangled case yet. As Emma leads Jorgenson and his team on a high-stakes chase across the Midwest and beyond, the boundaries of justice and loyalty are pushed to the breaking point.
Returning readers will recognize beloved characters from Skrypczak’s previous novels, Tatum’s Alibi and Never Doubt Nadine. This time, the drama follows Mike and his wife, assistant district attorney Shauna Williams, as they navigate danger both inside and outside the courtroom.
