Description

"I really like his main character, Alex McKnight, and I'm ready to revisit Paradise, Michigan." —James Patterson

Step into the vivid, intense universe of North of Nowhere, where mysteries envelop Michigan's upper peninsula. With stakes as high as the dignity of former Detroit cop Alex McKnight, every turn of the page is steeped in anticipation.

The story takes an abrupt turn from an exhilarating gamble to a professionally orchestrated heist that leaves Alex under a harsh spotlight of suspicion, his honor hanging by a thread. Amidst the turmoil and confusion, Alex discovers the unwelcome companionship of a vigilante, equally determined to unveil the truth, regardless of the cost. The narrative unearths the deepest secrets, revealing a conspiracy darker than even Alex could have anticipated.

North of Nowhere is a riveting exploration of envy, guilt, and desperation. Its fast-paced narrative takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotion and suspense in the picturesque surroundings of Michigan.
