In a small, Minnesota town, during the swelter of a July day, a young man is shot and killed. The tragedy leads to murder times three. The ensuing investigation leads Deputy Sheriff Mike Andrews across the state and into the untested waters of love.

The plot, the adventure, the mystery, but most of all the characters will have you reading until you have finished Northern Heat. And then you will want more. Mark Elliott's first novel will soon be followed by a second Mike Andrews novel.
