I would not consider myself a mystery buff, but I really enjoyed "A Cold Day in Paradise," a private eye novel taking place in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The reluctant hero, Alex McKnight, is a former minor league baseball player and a former Detroit police officer who was shot in the line of duty. Retired, and with the bullet still lodged near his heart, Alex has moved up to the Upper Peninsula to tend to his late father's cabin rental business. There he encounters a ghost from his past - threatening notes from the man who shot him and who is supposed to be in prison for life....
Steve Hamilton's first novel "A Cold Day in Paradise" won the Private Eye Writers of America award for Best First Private Eye Novel. It is also the One Book, One Community selection for Macomb County this fall. Steve Hamilton will be giving a presentation at the Lorenzo Cultural Center (formerly the Macomb Cultural Center) on October 23rd, 2008 at 7:00pm.
This book is appropriate for adult readers.
