125. Hamilton, Steve (Alex McKnight Series)

Wed Dec 14, 2011, 07:37 AM

Dec 2011

Note about the author (from Wikipedia):
Hamilton's novels have won numerous awards. His very first book, A Cold Day in Paradise, won the Private Eye Writers of America/St. Martin's Press Award for Best First Mystery by an Unpublished Writer. After it was published, the novel went on to win the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best First Novel and the Private Eye Writers of America Shamus Award for Best First Novel, the only first novel to win both awards.

This series is set in the town of Paradise on the shores of Lake Superior (Michigan's Upper Peninsula). Alex McKnight runs a hunting camp built by his late father but he also has private-detective license. He was a cop in Detroit before his partner was killed and he was shot.

I have only read the first book in this series so far. And so far so good!

1) A Cold Day In Paradise
2) Winter of the Wolf Moon
3) The Hunting Wind
4) North of Nowhere
5) Blood is the Sky
6) Ice Run
7) A Stolen Season
8) Misery Bay

You can peek inside the first book here:
