In NORTH OF NOWHERE, Steve Hamilton returns to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where former Detroit cop Alex McKnight has learned that wherever money goes, envy is not far behind.

After a game of cards turns into a professional heist, Alex McKnight finds himself lying facedown on the floor with a gun to the back of his head. When the dust settles, McKnight is one of the police chief’s lead suspects.

But he is about to discover how dark this conspiracy truly is, or how close to guilt he actually stands. . .
