Suspense | Mystery
The Anthony, Macavity, and Strand Critics award-winning debut from Glen Erik Hamilton
When his estranged grandfather is shot and left for dead, an Army Ranger must plunge into the criminal underworld of his youth to find a murderer and uncover a shocking family secret in this atmospheric and evocative debut thriller.
Van Shaw was raised to be a thief, but at eighteen he suddenly broke all ties to that life and joined the military—abandoning his illicit past and the career-criminal grandfather who taught him the trade. Now, after ten years of silence, his grandfather has asked him to come home to Seattle. But when Van arrives, he discovers his grandfather bleeding out on the floor from a gunshot to the head. With a lifetime of tough history between him and the old man, Van knows he’s sure to be the main suspect.
The only way he can clear his name is to go back to the world he’d sworn to leave behind. Tapping into his criminal skills, he begins to hunt the shooter and uncover what drove his grandfather to reach out after so long. But in a violent, high-stakes world where right and wrong aren’t defined by the law, Van finds that the past is all too present . . . and that the secrets held by those closest to him are the deadliest of all.
Edgy and suspenseful, rich with emotional resonance, gritty action, and a deep-rooted sense of place, Past Crimes trumpets the arrival of a powerful talent in the mold of Dennis Lehane, Robert B. Parker, and John D. MacDonald.

Re: Past Crimes
Loved learning about your writing process and the challenges Van faced. I can't wait to "meet" Van and his story.

You definately have me hooked into curling up with this one,
and I'd grab your book instead of a hippo any day!! Thank
you for coming here and letting us know about your latest
book, and also giving us updates about your Daughter!!! I'm
sure she's a sweetheart, and a bit of a handful at times
when you're trying to write, but she sounds like Daddy's
little Girl!! Congratulations on your book, and I'm sure
it's going to do well!!

A fascinating post which gave me insight into the author and
his writing.
(Sharon Berger 11:56am February 24, 2015)
You have my attention with the publication of Past

the reader to keep going and unable to put your book

Thank you for your information. I love these kind of books. My
favorite genre.

Maybe I shouldn't say this, but, as a rule, I prefer books written by women authors. I guess it's the outlook given, but I'm changing my mind. Past Crimes sounds like a fascinating read and I think I would enjoy it.

Your book sounds real exciting , I hope to be reading it very soon. I love the ' who did it ' books , and always hate to put them down , like to read from beginning to end , but never have that much time . Congrats on your book and Best of Luck to you .

I think I would like reading anything in the voice of a
nine year old. I would think the language would flow
easily and be very realistic. Interesting to read a book
where you figure out the reasons for someone's actions
are because of their past- makes it easy to see yourself
and sympathize/root for the main character. I look
forward to reading this.
(Michelle Tweedy 4:22pm February 25, 2015)
Sounds like a very interesting and captivating read.
