Augustine Meijer

Murder at Lakeland Augustine Meijer

Detective B. Richard North, "Brick" to his friends, of the LaSalle Harbor PD is struggling to connect two murders and their ties to the Chicago mob. In 1957, LaSalle Harbor is a manufacturing city on the shores of Lake Michigan that hosts plenty of tourists and the problems they bring. North isn't known for his easy-going nature; he is known for solving crime and his way with the ladies. 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."
