Cruelest month / by Stander, Aaron.;
Winter is starting to loosen its grip on Cedar County along the shores of northern Lake Michigan. The first hints of green are becoming visible on the edges of the receding snowpack. On the inland lakes, the layers of ice that started forming in late November and December are slowly subsiding. The search for morel mushrooms is still three or four weeks off. But this year there is other treasure to hunt. Vincent Fox, an octogenarian, has self-published a book, Al Capone's Michigan: the Secret Lost Treasure. Following the descriptions in the book some of the locals are beginning to scour the beaches with shovels and metal detectors. When Fox suddenly goes missing, Sheriff Ray Elkins and Detectyive Sue Lawrence are confronted by a complex web of fact and fiction to sort through, and along the way they discover new information to a decades old unsolved murder.

Beyond madness : 45°N / by Marks, John(John Hebron).;
"His midlife crisis seemed to peak when Harlan Holmes, an ex-cop turned private eye, lost the son of his only client somewhere along the Leelanau coast--about 45°N. The job initially seemed simple, more like babysitting than private investigation. Harlan was hired to look after his client's son Leo while the young man attended law school away from home. But Leo, it turned out, was a determined gambling addict. And Harlan was clueless about the March Madness scam that Leo was running on some locals just before he went missing. Complicating matters is Harlan's client, Leo's dad. It so happens, he's a full-on wiseguy, and he's in town with a crew to micromanage the private eye who lost his son. When they learn about Leo's fate, Harlan will learn that his midlife crisis has just begun"--Page [4] of cover.

Death in a summer colony / by Stander, Aaron.;
"It's a warm summer evening in Cedar County. A storm is just beginning to roll onshore from Lake Michigan. In the auditorium of the Mission Point Summer Colony, the audience settles in for a performance of a stage adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Death at the Vicarage". By the first intermission the intense thunderstorm is overhead. The old auditorium reverberates to the violent tumult. Flashes of lightning cast eerie shadows through the rolling, heavily wooded landscape. Then the power fails. The building and surrounding countryside go black. When the electricity is restored, Ray Elkins, the Sheriff of Cedar County, is guided from his seat in the auditorium to the stage area. A member of the cast has been found fatally stabbed."-- From back cover.
