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 the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to the Porcupine Mountains, from Lake Superior's cold blue shore to the interior forests, the Upper Peninsula is a place of genuine solitude and beauty that rewards those willing to venture off the beaten path.
