Ex-Detroit cop Alex McKnight is living a quiet life in
Paradise, Michigan, since leaving the force after the death
of his partner and surviving being shot himself. One of his
closest friends is concerned that Alex is becoming almost
reclusive, so he forces Alex to attend a card game at the
home of an affluent neighbor. Alex knew he should have
stayed home, especially when the game is interrupted by
three masked gunmen intent on robbing the safe while
trashing only one room of the house.
Things go from bad to worse when Alex and his friends at
the game become the main suspects for the robbery. As items
from the heist are found in their homes or businesses, it
is apparent someone is setting them up, but for what
reason? Of course, Alex must do whatever he can to save
himself and his friends, no matter the consequences, which
turn out to be quite extensive -- and life-threatening.
One of the paragraphs near the end of NORTH OF NOWHERE sums
it up perfectly: This is what the whole summer had come
down to. This summer of secrets. The biggest secret of all
was what a bag full of money could make a man do.Steve Hamilton is adept at developing suspenseful
storylines with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers
anticipating the outcome. NORTH OF NOWHERE is no exception
and another great addition to his Alex McKnight series.
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. Worse,
one of the other card players has the same idea, and he has
no qualms about exercising some vigilante justice of his
own. Now, Alex knows he is the only one who can uncover the
truth. But he is about to discover how dark this conspiracy
truly is, or how close to guilt he actually stands. . .
