Chaos, movies, murder and magic.
Welcome to the summer of 1979.
Newsboy Jack McGuinn thought he had everything sorted out for his life on Mackinac Island, Michigan, but when a Hollywood production company comes to film 70 Years Back in Time, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, his perfectly constructed life falls apart like a newspaper in a storm. The island is abuzz with movie fever, and his parents are torn apart by the mystery of their past.
With the help of metalhead Blaze, Jake embarks on a ridiculous quest to earn a bounty from a 20-year-old cold case. His goal is to buy the dream vacation his parents never had time to take – a trip he believes can save their marriage, and his perfect life on the island.
As Jack explores further, he sees the island in a new light—it’s more than just rocky beaches, quiet trails, T-shirt shops, and pistachio fudge. Reality begins to unravel as ghosts from the past (some real, some imagined) reappear.
A prequel to the Amazon bestseller and Michigan acclaimed book, The Dockporter, Somewhere in Crime is a nostalgic, moving and often hilarious coming-of-age adventure set against the backdrop of classic Hollywood films.
