Overview

"Jim Harrison is one of our most renowned and popular authors, and his last novel, ""The Great Leader,"" was one of the most successful in a decorated career: it appeared on the ""New York Times"" extended bestseller list, and was a national bestseller with rapturous reviews. His darkly comic follow-up, ""The Big Seven,"" sends Detective Sunderson to confront his new neighbors, a gun-nut family who live outside the law in rural Michigan. Detective Sunderson has fled troubles on the home front and bought himself a hunting cabin in a remote area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. No sooner has he settled in than he realizes his new neighbors are creating even more havoc than the Great Leader did. A family of outlaws, armed to the teeth, the Ameses have local law enforcement too intimidated to take them on. Then Sunderson's cleaning lady, a comely young Ames woman, is murdered, and black sheep brother Lemuel Ames seeks Sunderson's advice on a crime novel he's writing which may not be fiction. Sunderson must struggle with the evil within himself and the far greater, more expansive evil of his neighbor. In a story shot through with wit, bedlam, and Sunderson's attempts to enumerate and master the seven deadly sins, ""The Big Seven"" is a superb reminder of why Jim Harrison is one of America's most irrepressible writers."
