Product Description

Product Description
It's the most miserable summer anyone can remember in Paradise, Michigan. Alex and his occasional partner Leon are outside the local casino waiting to see the 4th July firework celebrations when they witness a spectacular boat crash. They drag four men from the wreck and revive them. When Alex's friend Vinnie is later beaten up by four strangers, it doesn't take Alex long to figure out who they might be. Vinnie suspects that these strangers have been preying on some of the local tribes people, pressuring them to make fraudulent claims for medicine, which the men then sell on at street value to drug addicts. When Alex and Vinnie begin to investigate, the men are forced into desperate action. One of them winds up dead, while the others are determined to prevent Alex and Vinnie from cutting off their drug supply. These dangerous newcomers receive a warm welcome from one quarter though - the criminal fraternity. At least Alex can be certain that his cop girlfriend, Natalie, is safe in Toronto, working on a long-term undercover operation against a group of gun-runners. But Alex doesn't realise the true nature of the op and its link to the drug-traffickers; nor is he aware that Natalie is perilously close to having her cover blown. Then she comes face-to-face with three men who could be used to redefine the word vicious ... --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars love this author!, 26 Jan 2008
By Lynne M. Robertson (Dunfermline, Fife United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is one of a series about ex cop Alex McKnight who left the city life behind for the isolation of a cabin on the shore of Lake Superior-however a quiet life isn't what he gets in the small town of Paradise! A wonderful series of novels which are both exciting and very funny in parts-this combination in the bleak but beautiful setting are what makes these books special. A Stolen Season could be read as a stand alone novel but I think it would be enjoyed best if the others are read first as by the time I read this I felt Alex was an old friend which made it even more sad when he loses someone close to him and feels it was his fault for putting them in danger by being part of his life. A cracking good read I would recommend all Steve Hamilton's books to anyone that likes a good thriller and a bit more too!

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak entry in good series, 1 May 2009
By Joseph V. Zizza "An American transplant" (Peterborough, Cambs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Stolen Season (Paperback)
Steve Hamilton's latest book in the likable Alex McKnight series is a very weak entry. The falling-off in plot inventiveness is shocking, even for a twenty-first century crime novel. It's all been done before, so what matters is how well it's done, and making it feel as if it is new. Hamilton fails here, delivering a cliche plot with no wit, style or additional "oomph" to set it apart from a half dozen or more crime novels with the same plot device. The background is interesting, as usual, and Hamilton is clearly aware of how much the Michigan Upper Peninsula setting affects readers' affection for his novels, but there is nothing new here. I've read it before, written better and delivered with more conviction. Hamilton has either run out of ideas or has gotten very lazy. Disappointing.
