Search - Winter of the Wolf Moon (Alex McKnight, Bk 2)

At it's heart Winter of the Wolf Moon is a mystery/thriller. An ex cop who owns 6 cabins in the wilderness between the USA and Canada rents them out to snowmobilers.
One day he takes in an Indian lady to protect her from her homicidal boyfriend. He lets her spend the night at one of his cabins. But in the morning she is missing and the cabin is trashed. He feels responsable and we are off on a crazy ride that's lots of fun.
What sets it apart is the setting(The area on the border between Canada and the U.S.A., in what is generally freezing cold, often snow covered, and adjacent to still existing wilderness).
The author Steve Hamilton, writes a great story. I didn't want to put it down.
But the way he makes you see and feel this particular environment brings me into it as if I was there.
Try it. You'll like it.

Ex cop and sometimes PI Alex McKnight endures the bitter winter of Michigan's Upper Penninsula in his log cabin with warm fires and cold Molsons. When a young Ojibwa woman asks him for shelter from her violent boyfiend, McKnight agrees. But after secreting her in one of his cabins, he finds her gone the next morning. His search for her brings on more bruising encounters and a thickening web of crime.

I will be looking for Steve hamilton books in the future. Nice read. kept my hand turning pages.

Second book in a series set in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan and starring former policeman Alex McKnight. Plenty of action, great characters and I love the way that snow and arctic cold weather add an element of danger to the story. Quite an entertaining page turner. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

I really enjoyed this book - full of twists and action. This author is new to me, but I'll definitely look for more books by him!
