Having exiled himself to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Alex
McKnight doesn't have many friends, except for Vinnie
LeBlanc, an Ojibwa who's his reclusive neighbor, and
Jackie, owner of the Glasgow Inn. When Vinnie goes missing
following his mother's death, Alex is worried.
Then news comes of a botched drug delivery at a nearby
airfield that includes five dead bodies. After learning
that Vinnie's no-good cousin is also missing, Alex
speculates that Vinnie has been pulled into the drug fiasco
and is either on the run or has been taken captive. Alex
won't even think of the alternative. When a mysterious
stranger shows up also looking for Vinnie, the race is on
to find him before it is too late.
Steve Hamilton's DIE A STRANGER is marvelously
atmospheric with characters and locales so realistic, they
jump off the pages. Alex is a flawed, but totally
captivating, man who's principles are put to the test time
and again. A great series!
A plane lands in a deserted Upper Peninsula airstrip one
night, and five dead bodies are found the next morning.
The evidence suggests that not only are these murders the
beginning of something bigger, but that Alex McKnight's
friend Vinnie may be part of it. Alex knows he needs to
find him before it's too late.
Vinnie LeBlanc is an Ojibwa tribal member, a blackjack
dealer at the Bay Mills Casino, and he just might be
Alex's best friend. He's certainly come through for Alex
more than once in the past, so when he goes missing, Alex
can't help but be worried. There's a deadly crime war
creeping into the Upper Peninsula, leaving bodies in its
wake, and Alex never would have expected that his friend
could be involved. But when a mysterious stranger arrives
in town also looking for Vinnie, Alex will soon find out
that the stakes are higher than he ever could have
imagined.
