Title: Winter of the Wolf Moon
Review: this is the second of the series of Hamilton’s Alex McKnight books that I have read….and was really impressed with the progress in writing style from the first one. McKnight is an ex-Detroit cop with a lot of baggage, who basically lives a hermit life in the far reaches of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula- surrounded by Ojibwa Indian reservation folks. He is a very reluctant private investigator -surrounded by a wooly cast of characters. The action is fast and furious and the characters are well written. Hamilton’s sense of the UP is magnificent. Somewhat farfetched-as in how could one person survive this many near death beatings..…but hugely entertaining. I read this one in two days flat.
