I just finished reading Dead Man Running, the newest mystery novel by Steve Hamilton. This is the latest book in the Alex McKnight series, and has been a long time coming. Hamilton made his reputation on this series about a private detective living in the Upper Michigan Peninsula town of Paradise, but then decided to start a new series featuring a character blackmailed into becoming a hit man. I have found this new series to be a pretty depressing read, and am glad Hamilton has returned, at least for now, to a new Alex McKnight adventure. This time McKnight is summoned by the FBI to Phoenix, where a captured serial killer has stated that he will only speak to McKnight. It is no surprise that this killer escapes police custody, and it is McKnight who must find him and bring him to justice. This is a very exciting, very absorbing story and I can heartily recommend it. Pick it up at your local bookstore today.
