Book Description:
Ex-cop and sometime-P.I. Alex McKnight endures the bitter winter of Michigan's Upper Peninsula in his log cabin with warm fires and cold Molsons. When Dorothy Parrish, a young Ojibwa woman asks him for shelter from her violent boyfriend, McKnight agrees. But after secreting her in one of his cabins, he finds her gone the next morning. McKnight suspects vicious, hockey-playing Lonnie Bruckman of abducting the woman, but his search for her brings on more suspects, bruising encounters, and a thickening web of crime, all obscured by the relentless whiplash of brutal snowstorms. From the secret world of the Ojibwa reservation to the Canadian border and deep into the silent woods, someone is out to kill--and McKnight is driving right into the line of fire...

I really like the Alex McKnight series. This is the second one, and the second one I've read. I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

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.

I have enjoyed all of the Steve Hamilton's Alex McKnight series but this one was particularly interesting as it dealt with some of the Ojibwa traditions and beliefs.
