"If you're looking for a solid mystery with a hunting theme that does not denigrate the sport but rather separates the wheat from the chafe, then you know how hard it can be to find. Look no farther. Jerry Lambert has made one of my favorite corners of the world come to life in North of Wrong, and with 25 years in criminal justice under his belt, he knows what he's writing about. Our country needs more Luke Landrys driving the rural roads with a moral compass to give direction and an aim to putting criminals where they belong. And if they find time to catch a few trout and bag a turkey along the way, I'll pay to read that, too." *** Keith McCafferty, Field & Stream Survival editor and author of the Sean Stranahan mystery series, including The Royal Wulff Murders, The Gray Ghost Murders, Dead Man's Fancy, and Crazy Mountain Kiss.
"Jerry Lambert does it again. Trophy White Tales and The Hunting Spirit introduced us to this writer's compelling story-telling abilities and North of Wrong delivers these same attributes in his entertaining debut novel. A fast paced narrative filled with action and outdoor adventure. Lambert successfully places your mind in the breathtaking scenery of the north woods. Historical facts about Michigan, enhance the story. Deputy Luke Landry is a compelling character shaped by a strong moral compass. I look forward to Luke Landry's next adventure." *** Danny Defauw, Up North Journal
"As I sit in the Michigan woods this morning, I'm reminded of all the great traditions and stories that come from our hunting family. Jerry's new novel is another good book to add to your collection; a great author who highlights the hunting heritage shared with family and friends." *** Jeff Stanton, 6-Time National Motocross Supercross Champion
"North of Wrong is a rare story because it features decent, honest, hard-working outdoorsmen and gun owners as the good guys." *** Ron Spomer, Outdoor Writer, Field Editor for NRA American Hunter
