Product Description
by Augustine Meijer (Author)
Detective B. Richard North, "Brick" to his friends, is the lead detective of the LaSalle Harbor PD. In the Summer of '57, the body of a young blonde is discovered at Lakeland Airport. North is assigned to figure out who she is, how her body got to be dumped in a vacant hanger, and who killed her. While investigating that murder, another victim is pulled from the waves of Lake Michigan. Are the murders connected, and how is "Lucky" Como of the Chicago mob involved? North, damaged emotionally by the Second World War, and fettered by the ghosts of the past, sleeps too little and drinks too much.
"Those from SW Michigan will recognize the locales. Fans of the 50s will love the references."
"Meijer deftly captures the 1950s era and small-town America."
"A totally unique, somewhat flawed, occasionally crude, unpredictable but lovable detective."
"In a time before there were cell phones, DNA testing, and modern forensics, there was Brick North."
