Steve Hamilton: North of Nowhere (USA 2002) From the Publisher: The other poker players are men Alex hardly knows, in a posh house near the water. In the middle of the game, masked robbers invade the premises, hold the players at gunpoint and proceed to rob the homeowner. Alex is roused to action and so is his former detective partner, Leon Prudell. Working first against one another and later together, they discover that the crime is far more complex than a simple robbery. There is murder and greed and revenge involved, and a wild chase on the waters of Lake Superior before Alex is forced to realize that there is no retreat from life. And that maybe this is a good thing. Steve Hamilton: North of Nowhere. St. Martin's, ISBN: 0312268971 (May, 2002), 259 p., $23.95.
