One cryptic clue leads a desperate man into a labyrinthine
puzzle of murder in the electrifying new novel from national
bestselling author Harry Dolan.
There's a killer, and he wears a crooked hat.
Private investigator Jack Pellum has spent two years
searching for the man who he believes murdered his wife--a
man he last saw wearing a peacoat and a fedora. Months of
posting fliers and combing through crime records yield no
leads. Then a local writer commits suicide, and he leaves a
bewildering message that may be the first breadcrumb in a
winding trail of unsolved murders . . .
Michael Underhill is a philosophical man preoccupied by
what-ifs and could-have-beens, but his life is finally
coming together. He has a sweet and beautiful girlfriend,
and together they're building their future home. Nothing
will go wrong, not if Underhill has anything to say about
it. The problem is, Underhill has a dark and secret past,
and it's coming back to haunt him.
These two men are inexorably drawn together in a mystery
where there is far more than meets the eye, and nothing can
be taken for granted. Filled with devious reversals and
razor-sharp tension, The Man in the Crooked Hat is a
masterwork from "one of America's best new crime writers"
(Lansing State Journal).
