After being shot on the job as a Detroit police officer,
Alex retires and choses to take the road less taken, which entails moving back home
to Paradise, Michigan. He rents out the
cabins his father built and eventually begins working as an investigator for a
local lawyer. For fourteen years his life
is simple and uninterrupted – that is until a friend needs Alex’s help after he
stumbles onto a murder victim.
As the bodies begin to pile up, the murderer makes contact
with our hero and Alex realizes that the past is never as far behind us as we
would like it to be.
Okay, I’m a sucker for a strong male hero and Alex is
perfect. Hamilton creates a really believable
character in a man who is strong and independent, but yet emotionally
vulnerable in that as much as he’s distanced himself from his old life in
Detroit, it still haunts him in numerous ways.
I can’t wait to see what the rest of the series brings!
Highly recommended for fans of Lee Child, Robert Crais or
Michael Connolly.
