In an unprecedented literary feat, Steve Hamilton's debut novel, A Cold Day in Paradise, captured both the prestigious Edgar and Shamus awards. Now the best-selling author presents the third installment in his critically acclaimed mystery series a complex, atmospheric tale that will plunge listeners back into icy, unpredictable Alex McKnight territory, where the private investigator finds himself doing a favor for an old friend - but this favor could cost him his life...
In the remote, wintry reaches of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, it's hard for a man to remember what springtime is like, let alone Spring Training. But when a former teammate tracks him down, erstwhile minor league player Alex McKnight is instantly transported back to the good old Toledo dugout, circa 1971. Unfortunately, Randy Wilkins didn't trek 3,000 miles to the bleak shores of Lake Superior to sit by the fire with a couple of imported beers, dissecting the past, inning by glorious inning. He's here to pitch a proposal that Alex help him find the woman with whom he had a brief, passionate affair three decades ago. Who is Alex to deny a fellow the chance to ward off classic midlife chill by rekindling an old flame? What he doesn't consider is that there might be a good reason the mysterious, missing Maria is more elusive than a starting position in the majors - and that his trusted old pal might not have told him the whole score.

Steve Hamilton delivers another solid performance! I've just started reading the Alex McKnight novels, so far this one is my favorite.First off, I really enjoyed the atmosphere that Hamilton creates with the location being in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It reminds me of Poisonville/Personville in Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest.
Hamilton did a great job of linking years and time together between two close friends before the big leagues and after when they've both careers cut short. However, they are both linked by one time, place and a woman. McKnight's friend is in search of this lost woman because he could not let her go. Little does McKnight know, there is something deeper to the connection with this missing woman. Hamilton's characters are great and relate-able. I think we all have a friend like Randy, who has an itch that can't be scratched. I felt bad for McKnight being dragged into a case he didn't really want, but wanted to help out his friend. McKnight once again demonstrates his dominant trait of loyalty and trustworthiness. He doesn't stop until the mystery is solved. I think we could all use a friend like McKnight.
Great book, leaves you guessing til the end.

The Hunting Wind (Audible Audio Edition) Steve Hamilton Dan John Miller Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
A most entertaining tale.Hamilton is just so darn good.I like his Alex McKnight books and have found all of them a joy to read. This book Alex is helping his old teammate out. He hasn't see him in years but Alex never turns down a friend in need. No matter how many times it almost gets him killed. They are looking for a young woman from their past. How hard could that be?
Steve Hamilton The man knows how to tell a story, especially in "The Hunting Wind." This is my third in the Alex McKnight series, and the best one so far. In the first half we see things set up... in the second half we watch them unravel. Most of us assume that what our friends tell us is true. Our friends are honest... most of the time. But in this story, the prevarications fly faster and harder than any "slinky" Alex's friend, pitcher Randy Wilkins, ever threw in his short career with the Detroit Tigers. For me, Hamilton hit it out of the ballpark with this one.
Good story and quite a few twists. Disappointed in the ending. Thought newsgroups have settled things better. But will read more
The first 6-8 were really good. The last one and this one...not so much. They both lagged and stretched credibility. Great character, though.
So this was an interesting little mystery. I swear Alex just stumbles his way into trouble with every turn he makes. Sometimes on purpose... Sometimes by accident. LOL I know some of the negative reviewers complained The reason for Randy looking for Maria wasn't explained but it was explained and Alex did an absolute great job of explaining it. It's common sense.... Once you find out about Randy and Maria's relationship, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the deal is between the two and ultimately the reason he was searching for her.
I guess you'll either like this story or you want. I personally enjoyed it and it was an entertaining read for a rainy afternoon, which has been happening more lately.
Alex is a reluctant detective with a partner he's not entirely sure he wants. When his old pitcher, Randy, shows up, Alex agrees to help him find a lost love from 1971. Although Alex doesn't think his search will bear much fruit, the more he discovers, the deeper his involvement gets.
A really good series.
This is my third book by Mr Hamilton (and his third book also). He is a very talented writer and the reader just slips into the story like a pair of comfortable shoes. His protagonist is likeable and believable. He is not the super-karate Special Ops private eye of other authors. He tends to get beat up. He kicks himself for not doing something right. And he has a small collection of friends on the Upper Peninsula that one comes to enjoy meeting. Almost like a collection of real people you probably know in your life. So far the trend in his books has been to find somebody that has disappeared. In this book, it is an old flame of a previous colleague that is being sought. Lots of twists and turns in the story.
I would say that reading his books in order is the best process. Watching his characters grow is very interesting. Mr Hamilton alludes to previous books in each subsequent novel. Reading in order helps to understand what went before. In the last three books there have been loose threads left hanging that I imagine will come back to roost in later novels.
I have gone to Google Earth and charted the locales in his books. It is an area I have never traveled and now must see.
