New book by Legends of the Fall author set in the U.P.

We've written before about mysteries set in the U.P. -- and the latest offering is from none other than Jim Harrison, known better to some as the writer behind Legends of the Fall.

Excerpt: The angst and grief of a middle-aged man coping with the divorce of a wife he loved, the uncertainty of retirement and the bothersome lust and subsequent guilt he feels for a teenaged neighbor is an unlikely theme for a mystery novel.

But as author Jim Harrison has correctly subtitled it, The Great Leader is "a faux mystery" -- and a compelling character study of a man in search of himself.

For the whole review, go here.
