Synopsis

The Hunting Wind continues Steve Hamilton’s award-winning and New York Times bestselling Alex McKnight series.Before he became a private investigator, before he served in the Detroit police, and long before he retreated to the wintry reaches of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Alex McKnight played ball in the minor leagues. He doesn’t spend much time thinking about those days, at least not until a former teammate comes looking for him.The man is here to ask a favor. He wants Alex to help him find the woman with whom he had a brief, passionate affair three decades ago. Who is Alex to deny his friend a chance to ward off a classic midlife chill by rekindling an old flame? But as the search deepens, McKnight begins to suspect that he hasn’t been told the full story. And there might just be a reason why this mysterious woman is so hard to find.

Goodreads review by Michael

It's a good sign that the Alex McKnight books keep getting better. Still not as good as The Lock Artist, but Hamilton clearly cares about his craft, and there's a lot to like here. Very well paced with two very different halves of the book that really work well together. Glad I stuck with the series......more

Another terrific Alex McKnight novel. It's twisty and surprising with characters, especially McKnight, that are vivid and believable.......more


Quotes

“[An] easygoing, smoothly written tale.” Seattle Times

“Un-put-downable…We are in the glorious, shadowy realm of noir where nothing is what it seems…But in this exceptionally entertaining novel, McKnight is a decent man whose wits are a match for a whole world of vipers.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Alex is nothing if not quixotic, and so off he goes on the Maria-quest, during which he gets warned off, beaten up, shot at, and generally mistreated and manhandled while tilting at windmills.” Kirkus Reviews
