I’m excited to share Dave Case’s new thriller, Up North.
This one follows DEA Agent Faith Nelson into a brutal Minnesota winter, where a missing girl, a cartel connection, and a dangerous case pull her farther and farther into the cold.
DEA Agent Faith Nelson is supposed to be going home for Christmas.
Her father is facing heart surgery in Oakland. Her mother needs her. And Faith needs distance from Minnesota, from the shooting that made her a reluctant hero, and from the nightmares that followed.
Then a cartel accountant stops cooperating with a federal grand jury when his college-age stepdaughter disappears.
Faith is sent north to Duluth in the teeth of a winter storm, paired with a partner she does not trust and trapped in a case that keeps turning darker. The missing girl may not have been taken at all. Her roommate knows more than she is saying. A Mexican cartel executioner has entered Minnesota. And when the trail leads beyond Duluth toward the frozen north shore of Lake Superior, Faith finds herself alone, injured, and running out of time.
Up North is a crime thriller about violence, survival, and the terrible cost of doing the right thing when the cold is closing in and no one is coming fast enough.
If you love tense crime thrillers, winter settings, strong female leads, cartel investigations, and stories that keep tightening the screws, this one belongs on your list.
Grab your copy of Up North today and follow Faith Nelson into the storm.
Sounds like a great summer read! Nothing better to cool off with than a winter thriller set in Duluth.
