Manistique

Luke Fischer doesn't think he's a detective, but he can't stop trying to find missing people. As a favor to his friend, and fueled by a steady diet of Pacifico beer and cholula peanuts, Luke goes on a quest to solve a murder that never happened... only to find one that did.
In Manistique, Michigan, Luke teams up with the local sheriff, Sam, a tough, determined woman with a hell of a spin kick. Together they try to solve how a modern-day Johnny Appleseed spread $400,000 across Upper Michigan before ending up on the bottom of the Manistique River.
From the winding roads of perpetually raining Michigan to the sun-baked land and purple skies of New Mexico, Luke Fischer searches for the reason behind the killings, while being pursued by those who would rather he was dead. He never signed up to be a knight errant, but damned if people don't expect him to be one.
"Luke Fischer is an utterly addictive character-my favourite knight in tarnished armour since the great Travis McGee." - Ed Church, author of Probably Dead and Non-Suspicious "Manistique is a MOOD! It's a tense, fast-paced crime novel with an irresistibly atmospheric literary tone and a cast of unforgettable characters. Luke Fischer has a twisty sense of humour and straight sense of honour that together make him an everyman hero who you just want to share a couple Pacificos." - Theresa Therrien, author of Rules for Revolutionaries
