Seamus McCree U.P. North James M Jackson

Set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this compendium includes unabridged versions of two of the best-loved Seamus McCree novels, and two short stories, one also featuring Seamus.

CABIN FEVER: Financial crimes investigator Seamus McCree retreats to his family cabin deep in the wilds of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. His plans for a quiet winter vaporize when he discovers a naked woman on his porch. Seamus struggles to keep the woman alive. His SOS attracts unwanted attention from a domestic paramilitary organization hunting for the escaped woman. Seamus discovers the woman is just a pawn in a deadly game he must win to prevent the paramilitary from executing their evil plans.

EMPTY PROMISES: Seamus's first solo bodyguard assignment goes from bad to worse. His client disappears. His granddog finds a buried human bone. Police find a fresh human body. Seamus promised his buisness partner and lover, Abigail Hancock, that he'd keep the witness safe. Abigail is furious at his incompetence and their relation- ship flounders. Seamus risks his own safety and freedom to turn amateur sleuth in hopes he can solve the crimes, fulfill his promise of protection, and win back Abigail. Wit and grit are on his side, but the clock is ticking . . .and the hit man is on his way.

PLUS Two Bonus Short Stories: In "Accidents Happen" Seamus looks into a series of accidental deaths at an open-pit iron ore mine. "Homework" is a coming-of-age story with a delightful twist.
