For Readers Who Enjoy the Wilds of the Northwoods ...

Set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, this compendium includes unabridged versions of two of the best-loved Seamus McCree novels, and two short stories, one also featuring Seamus at a significant discount from buying separately. Of course you can read any of the novels for free on Kindle Unlimited.

CABIN FEVER:

He came north for quiet. A blizzard brought him a frozen, naked stranger—with no memory. And rope burns.

Seamus McCree retreats to the family cabin in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to heal—no close neighbors, no cell signal, the roads long buried in snow.

Then the dead of winter delivers a woman to his porch. Naked, frostbitten, burning with fever, and with fear as her only memory. The rope marks on her wrists and ankles suggest imprisonment. But where, and by whom?

Snowbound, with no way to call for help or drive for it, Seamus fights to keep the stranger alive.

Finding unknown tracks nearby, he knows they're looking. What he doesn't know is that the woman escaped from people with power, guns, and a secret worth killing to protect. They aren’t looking; they’re hunting.

Seamus has never walked away from someone who needed him. But now the killers have two targets.

Cabin Fever is the third Seamus McCree thriller—a complete story, and a chilling turn in a series of eight novels and two novellas.

What begins as a rescue turns into a mystery with roots far deeper than a winter abduction. And for Seamus, the trail to hidden secrets runs through the money.

EMPTY PROMISES:

If you love the suspense and plot twists of domestic thrillers, this page-turner will be for you. Seamus McCree’s first assignment hiding a witness goes from bad to worse. His client disappears. His granddog finds a buried human bone. Police find a fresh human body.

His client is to testify in a Chicago money laundering trial. He’s paranoid that with a price on his head, if the police know where he’s staying, the information will leak. Seamus promised his business partner and lover, Abigail Hancock, that he’d keep the witness safe at the McCree family camp located deep in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan’s woods.

Abigail is furious at his incompetence and their relationship flounders. Even his often-helpful son, Paddy, must put family safety ahead of helping his father. Seamus risks his own safety and freedom to turn amateur sleuth in hopes he can solve the crimes, fulfill his promise of protection, and win back Abigail. Wit and grit are on his side, but the clock is ticking . . . and the hit man is on his way.

PLUS Two Bonus Short Stories: In “Accidents Happen” Seamus looks into a series of accidental deaths at an open-pit iron ore mine. “Homework” is a coming-of-age story with a delightful twist.

What Readers Are Saying about the Seamus McCree series

"I love Seamus McCree—a savvy PI who tackles the mysteries of life with heart and brains and humor.”
~ Hank Phillipi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony, Daphne, Macavity, and Mary Higgins Clark award winner.

“The Seamus McCree series is one to watch!”
~ Steve Hamilton, Edgar winning author, Let it Burn

"Cabin Fever is a recommended pick both for crime and mystery readers who enjoyed the prior Seamus McCree story in Bad Policy and for newcomers such as this reviewer, who encounter Seamus here for the first time.

With its combination of social consciousness, political action, intrigue, and family relationships, Cabin Fever will satisfy any mystery or thriller reader."
~ D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"Seamus McCree is a protagonist that if you're ever a woman running from evil incarnate you want on your side. He's one smart protagonist and James M. Jackson is one fine writer who I compare to William Kent Krueger and Craig Johnson in that he knows how to reel in the reader, turn a phrase and pace a book perfectly that you have to know what's going on and can't stop thinking about it. Highly recommend for thrilling mystery."
