Mink: Skinning Time in Wisconsin
A story of ecoterrorism, animal liberation, fur farming, and that sweet ’90s music.
Would-be guitar hero Kees VanSpyker is just looking for gas money to Seattle. The Animal Liberation Front true believers are looking for an inside man, or maybe for a patsy. There's only one way to tell: Take their bribe to work at the mink ranch where the last spy they sent in disappeared. Then hang on to your hide.
Available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook, wherever books are sold.

—Amina Akhtar, author of KISMET
“Filled with a cadre of fascinating characters soaked in Midwest and 90s nostalgia, Mink delivers intrigue, thrills, and heart all the way to the bloody end.”

—Meagan Lucas, author of Songbirds and Stray Dogs and Here in the Dark
“Mink delivers unflinchingly dark realism with an atmospheric crystal-clarity in Johnson’s deft hands. You want a slasher horror-mystery tale that smartly, tartly evokes the sick, twisted underbelly of the 1990s? Think Mink.”
