Robert Traver's Anatomy of a Murder is one of the great American courtroom novels, set in the wild and beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This travelogue explores the real locations behind the story — the towns, courthouses, and landscapes that Traver (pen name for Michigan Supreme Court Justice John Voelker) knew intimately.
But the Upper Peninsula offers far more than literary pilgrimage. This presentation includes carefully selected inn and hotel destinations that make the UP one of Michigan's hidden treasures — places to stay that are as memorable as the landscapes surrounding them.
From Whitefish Point to the beautiful Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, travel south through the interior forests of the Upper Peninsula to Wisconsin and then explore the picturesque Door Peninsula.

- ◆Audio-visual presentation
