Fresh Fiction Review

Blood is the Sky
Steve Hamilton

Reviewed by Tanzey Cutter

Mystery | Thriller Crime

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.

SUMMARY

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.
