Other than the bullet lodged less than a centimetre from his heart, former Detroit police officer Alex McKnight thought he had put the nightmare of his partner's death and his own near-fatal injury behind him. After all, Maximilian Rose, convicted of the crimes, has been locked in the state pen for years. But in the small town of Paradise, Michigan, where McKnight has traded his badge for a cosy cabin in the woods, a murderer with Rose's unmistakable trademarks appears to be back to his killing ways. With Rose locked away, McKnight can't understand who else would know the intimate details of the old murders - not to mention the signature blood-red rose left on his doorstep. It seems as though Hell might freeze over before McKnight can unravel the cold truth in this town that's anything but Paradise. Hamilton's writing is spare and stylish. He combines wry understated humour with terrifying violence in a brilliantly evoked setting. He will go far.

Had me hooked from page one, well organized, easy-to-follow characters and local color and descriptions. Will begin other books by Hamilton soon! Thanks.

Frosty Beginning
This is an award winning first novel from Steve Hamilton. It introduces his reluctant hero, Alex McKnight, and is a great mystery showcased by the atmospheric north. A tragedy has caused McKnight to take refuge in a cold paradise, but it dosn't protect him from shady dealings that occur there. I loved this book and recommended it to my sister. Now we both fight over new Alex McKnight books.
