Synopsis

Alex McKnight swore to serve and protect Detroit as a police officer, but a trip to Motown these days is a trip to a past he’d just as soon forget. The city will forever remind him of his partner’s death and of the bullet still lodged in his own chest.Then he gets a call from his old sergeant. A young man Alex helped put away—in the one big case that marked the high point of his career—will be getting out of prison. When the sergeant invites Alex downstate to have a drink for old times’ sake, it’s an offer he would normally refuse. However, there’s a certain female FBI agent he can’t stop thinking about, so he gets in his truck and he goes back to Detroit.While there, he’s reminded of something about that young man’s case, a seemingly small piece of the puzzle that he never got to share. It’s not something anyone wants to hear, but Alex can’t let go of the feeling that they arrested the wrong man. And that the real killer not only got away, but went on to kill again.Let it Burn continues the acclaimed Alex McKnight series by two-time Edgar award–winner and New York Times bestselling author Steve Hamilton.

When Private Investigator and former Detroit P.D. Officer Alex McKnight visits the city he used to call home --- Detroit, MI --- he is horrified at how run-down and barren parts of the area are. It’s as if people stopped caring…like they just looked at it as the flames approached and decided to ‘let......more

Goodreads review by Jacki (Julia Flyte) on July 14, 2013

This is the tenth book in Steve Hamilton's fine series about ex-police officer Alex McKnight, but it's actually as good a place to start as any because it explores Alex's back history and therefore knowledge of the usual characters is largely unnecessary. If you are new to the series, all you really......more

I've loved the Alex McKnight series from book one and I know the author (who is a great guy), and I must say that the last installment (Die a Stranger) was my least favorite and I worried that the franchise was dead. Steve proved me wrong. This book might just be the best in the series. I hear there......more

Goodreads review by Vince on July 07, 2013

As a long time fan of Steve Hamilton, and his Alex McKnight series I have admired the skill Hamilton brings to creating a vivid sense of place to his novels.
