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.

      Alex McKnight is a private eye who isn't. He does hold a PI license, and has a partner. But he'd just as soon be left alone, sipping Canadian beer at the Glasgow Inn, located in remote Paradise, Michigan. Then, out of the blue comes a friend from the past who needs help finding his long lost love. Good guy Alex agrees to help, and THE HUNTING WIND soon becomes a gale of deception, deceit, and murder. Reader Nick Sullivan adds so much to this entertaining yarn, including clear, crisp dialogue and conversational diction and timing. The only detracting feature to an otherwise wonderful presentation is Sullivan's attempt to give too many individual characters distinct vocal identity. The result is a too creepy villain and a too sexy female centerpiece. However, this is no fatal flaw. THE HUNTING WIND is a great listen. T.J.M. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from May 21, 2001
      Edgar and Shamus Awards–winner Hamilton's third Alex McKnight thriller (after A Cold Day in Paradise; Winter of the Wolf Moon) is the next best thing to Evelyn Wood. It is un-put-downable. McKnight, a former Detroit cop, was "retired" by a bullet that remains lodged in his chest. He owns a small business in upstate Michigan and likes to spend his time in the local pub watching his beloved Tigers on TV. One day, an old friend walks in—a man he hasn't seen for 30 years. Alex has a soft spot for old buddies who exploit him mercilessly. This one is no exception. He wants Alex to help him find an former girlfriend whom he hasn't seen in decades. As he won't listen to reason, he and Alex are soon in Detroit on the almost nonexistent trail of his boyhood love. It is a leisurely—but interesting—trek that doesn't quicken until it seems to peter out entirely. Then, an unexpected act of violence causes everything we have believed real to blur into a haze of doubt. We are in the glorious, shadowy realm of noir where nothing is what it seems. Alex, the street-smart cop, is momentarily a babe in the woods in a pit of vipers. Hamilton's prose moves us smoothly along and his characters are marvelously real. His world is an existential one—merciless to the innocent—but in this exceptionally entertaining novel, McKnight is a decent man whose wits are a match for a whole world of vipers.
