L'autore:

Steve Hamilton, born and raised in Michigan, now works for IBM in upstate New York, where he lives with his wife and son. A Cold Day In Paradise, in addition to winning an Edgar, a Shamus, and an Anthony Award, was the winner of the 1997 St. Martin's Press/Private Eye Writers of America Best First P.I. Novel contest. Hamilton is now at work on his next Alex McKnight mystery.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

"Steve Hamilton writes the kind of stories that [one] can't resist."
--The New York Times Book Review

Steve Hamilton's debut novel A Cold Day In Paradise was the first novel to capture mystery's three most prestigious awards-the Edgar, the Shamus, and the Anthony awards for best first novel. Now North of Nowhere returns to the beautiful and dangerous landscapes of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where former Detroit cop Alex McKnight's attempts to leave civilization behind only lead to disaster...

Lying facedown on the floor with a gun to the back of his head is where Alex McKnight finds himself after a game of cards turns into a professional heist at the home of local developer Win Vargas. When the dust settles, McKnight is one of police chief Roy Maven's lead suspects. Worse, Vargas' own sense of vigilante justice has targeted the former private eye as well, and the brash millionaire may be responsible for the sudden disappearance of Alex's best friend, Jackie. Now, with officials pointed in the wrong direction and his closest allies either missing or in jail, Alex knows he is the only one who can uncover the truth. But McKnight can't possibly know how dark this conspiracy truly is-or how close to guilt he actually stands...
