Living a quiet existence in Michigan's remote Upper
Peninsula, ex-cop Alex McKnight doesn't have many friends,
so he's fiercely loyal to them. When Vinnie Red Sky
LeBlanc's younger brother Tom doesn't returned from a job
guiding a group of hunters from Detroit into the wilderness
of northern Ontario, Vinnie must go find him. Because of
extenuating circumstances concerning Tom's situation, Alex
insists on accompanying Vinnie. Their trek north will
involve them with the Ontario Provincial Police, as well as
some odd people at the lodge where the hunters stayed. What
Vinnie and Alex eventually discover in the woods is too
gruesome to imagine and sets them on a path of
investigation to find the answer as to why this happened.
I am totally addicted to the Alex McKnight mysteries by the
incomparable Steve Hamilton. BLOOD IS THE SKY tells
a gripping tale of how the past can come out of hiding and
adversely affect the present. With a keen sense of place,
memorable characters and relentless action, Hamilton pens
some of the best crime novels out there. If you're looking
for a stimulating reading experience, BLOOD IS THE SKY by
Steve Hamilton is it. I can't wait to read the next
installment in Alex McKnight's exciting life.
Set in the forests of northern Ontario, a land of savage
beauty and sudden danger, BLOOD IS THE SKY shows why
Steve Hamilton is one of the most acclaimed crime
novelists writing today.
Alex McKnight isn't a man with many friends, but the few he
has know they're never alone in a fix. So when Vinnie
LeBlanc asks for his help in taking a trip deep into Canada
in search of his missing brother, he knows he can count on
Alex. His brother had taken a job as hunting guide for a
rough crew of Detroit "businessmen." The group was due back
days ago, yet there's been no sign of them, and there's
mounting evidence of something odd about their disappearing
act. The trackless forests of northern Ontario keep many
secrets, but none more shocking than the one that Alex is
about to uncover. And the more closely Alex looks for
answers, the more questions there become.
