My earliest foray into mystery fiction involved the usual: Hammett, Chandler, Thompson—i.e. the progenitors of the hardboiled and noir. Although I still love this sub-genre, I find too many novels these days try and mimic the style instead of progressing it. Lucky for me Steve Hamilton is here to light the way. The Alex McKnight series has been one of my newest and best discoveries. Instead of the gritty urban settings of similar greats (Connelly, Estleman, Crais, etc.), McKnight operates in the...more

out, as do most of them, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The residents of the area, referred to as the “land of the Yoopers,” consist heavily of Native Americans, most of them living in the reservations in that part of the country. As the book opens, Vinnie Red Sky LeBlanc, an Ojibwa Indian who is probably Alex’ best friend, is mourning the death of his mother, a legend on the “rez.” Alex, a former cop from Detroit, has been living for years in the town of Paradise, where his father had built several cabins for rental to hunters and winter recreationers, lives in one of those cabins, just down the road from Vinnie, had moved off the rez years before. Much is made of the clannish nature of the folks on the rez, and how difficult it is for ‘outsiders’ to be trusted. Vinnie has never been allowed to forget that he is now an outsider, just as he has never forgotten that his father had left thirty years before, the same father apparently still in prison for a vehicular manslaughter/drunk driving incident.many years ago, the reason Vinnie himself never drinks.

At the same time, at a little airport three hundred miles away, an event occurs that will effect their lives and those of several others when a small plane holding large quantities of high-grade marijuana lands, precipitating a hijacking which ends with several dead bodies left on the field, only one man making it out alive. Both Alex and Vinnie become deeply involved in the aftermath: Vinnie disappears, and Alex is determined to find him and to discover how he what part, if any, he played in this.

The Upper Peninsula is again brought vividly to life by this author who, along with fellow Yooper William Kent Krueger, seems to completely “own” this part of the United States, just below the Canadian border, in their fictional endeavors. Mr. Hamilton’s description, in part: “It may be July, and it may feel like summer just got here, but the end is already on its way. The cold, the snow, the ice, the natural basic state of this place, it is right around the corner. . . It was another goddamned beautiful useless day in Paradise.” The book veers south to perhaps a lesser-known part of the State apparently called Michigan’s Gold Coast, with towns such a Petoskey and Charlevoix where one soon feels “like you’re in the middle of Times Square,” also beautifully evoked.

This is another terrific entry in the series, beautifully written, as usual, with a somewhat intricate, suspenseful plot and wonderfully drawn characters, and it is highly recommended.

#9 in the Alex McKnight series. Alex is a Detroit cop, retired after a shootout left him with a bullet near his heart, and now renting cabins in Paradise on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Alex also has an inactive P.I. license but the inactivity doesn't stop him from getting involved in situations where his police background may come in handy. In this outing, Alex takes an introspective moment to realize that he has only two living friends and half of them are missing.

It has been said that he “always expertly captures the emotional heart of a novel with his audiobook performances...How does he do it? "I want to get into the mindset of the author," Miller says. "The book is someone else's work of art, and I want to respect that."

Well said and Die A Stranger is extremely well read as ace crime writer Steve Hamilton’s popular Alex McKnight series continues with the author’s usual clear, straight-talking presentation and slow mounting suspense. Die A Stranger is a pleasure.

Ex police officer Alex has been living a mostly solitary existence in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for some time. His best and perhaps only friend is Vinnie LeBlanc, an Ojibwa Indian who has left the reservation and built a cabin of his own. When Vinnie’s mother dies he is devastated. He seems distraught by the idea that while on her death bed she mistook Vinnie for his father, a man who was serving time for killing some people while driving drunk. Vinnie has sworn off alcohol, would never touch the stuff because of what it did to his father. Thus, it’s even more perplexing when Alex finds him on the night of his mother’s funeral downing one Scotch after another.

To further muddy the waters the next day Vinnie is gone. Alex soon discovers that Buck, Vinnie’s cousin is also missing. To top all of this off Alex’s search for his friend takes him to the airport which is awash with police cars and there are five dead bodies. The explanation? “It looks like a drug delivery gone bad. That plane over there is Canadian registered and it’s stuffed to the rafters with bags of marijuana...”

Surely Vinnie had nothing to do with this. The timing of Vinnie’s disappearance coinciding with the killings is just coincidence. Or, is it? Next, things really get dicey when a stranger appears in town also looking for Vinnie.

Leave it to this skillful, imaginative author and stellar voice performer to hold readers enthralled with one more gripping tale.

Enjoy!

Having read every one of his books, I always walk away immensely satisfied by the depth of his characters, the complexity with which he imbues every plotline, and the emotions he touches on. That's a rare feat.

Alex McKnight lives in the small Upper Peninsula town of Paradise. Constantly living with the reminder of being shot as a policeman while his partner was killed (Alex has a bullet lodged just near his heart), he is a fiercely loyal friend and unsuccessful former private investigator who can't seem to stay out of trouble, or trouble just seems to find him.

Vinnie LeBlanc is one of Alex's closest friends. Maybe even his best friend. The two have gotten into some scrapes before, but both have saved each other from danger in the past. When Vinnie mysteriously disappears the night after his mother dies, Alex knows this isn't just grief-related sadness or the need to get away; he knows Vinnie is in trouble. And despite the entreaties of law enforcement and the distrust of Vinnie's own family and reservation numbers, Alex is determined to find Vinnie and help him.

With the help of someone from Vinnie's past, Alex discovers his disappearance is tied to an incident at an isolated airport that left five people dead. But the dangers they uncover—and the ramifications of their actions—leave Alex, Vinnie, and everyone they know in harm's way, and there aren't many solutions left.

What I loved about this book, as I do all of Steve Hamilton's books, is the perfect balance between action, suspense, and introspection. It's not all car chases, gunplay and fistfights, nor is it all brooding and reflection. Alex McKnight is a fantastic character I've really come to enjoy over the years, and I feel that way about the other recurring characters in this series—Vinnie, Jackie, even Chief Maven. I really think the series would make an excellent television show, because I'd want to spend more time with it than simply seeing a movie every now and again.

If you like this genre, pick up a Steve Hamilton book. Any one in the series would do, as would his two other stand-alone novels. And maybe you'll help me in my quest to make him the household name he deserves to be. (less)

SPOILER!

Two stars means "it was OK".

And it was. This was not the weakest book of the series but ranks right next to it. For a good part of the book it was simply two guys driving around MI looking for two other guys. It was maddening. When the author finally dropped that, the story picked up a bit. In all, there was little mystery or suspense. The dialogue stalls quite a lot and is downright inane in places.

The night of his mother’s funeral, Alex’s best friend --- Vinnie Leblanc goes missing. What makes Alex particularly concerned is that he found out about a deadly shoot-out at the local airstrip which left five unnamed bodies behind and Vinnie may have been involved!

Vinnie, a reclusive Ojibwa Indian living off reservation in one of his friend Alex’s cabins, is not prone to drinking or any form of reckless behavior. It makes it all the more confusing to Alex that his friend could have somehow been mixed up in what appears to be a drug standoff gone wrong. Especially on the night he buried his mother.

Alex soon receives aid in his search for Vinnie and the truth from the unlikeliest of sources --- Vinnie’s long estranged father, Lou Leblanc. Lou had abandoned Vinnie and his family almost thirty years earlier. Recently paroled from a long stretch in prison, Lou heard about the death of his ex-wife and the disappearance of his son and has come back to northern Michigan to help in any way he can.

Alex, an ex-cop and sometime private investigator, starts piecing together clues to Vinnie’s disappearance and they all seem to point in the direction of Vinnie’s cousin, Buck. When Alex and Lou visit the local reservation, they are not greeted kindly. Lou is still an outcast --- exiled and told to never return. They are both met with hostility and not given any type of clue to help them find Vinnie.

Lou uses the term --- Anishinabe --- which stands for ‘one people’ in the Ojibwa language. Lou cannot understand how his own people cannot stand together in an hour of need so he takes it upon himself to live up to this term and atone for his own past sins in the process. Alex and Lou actually make a formidable, if not somewhat dysfunctional, team and the passages with them working together on this case are a pleasure to read.

In true Hamilton fashion, things begin to get hard-boiled quickly and the case spins out of control. Not only were Vinnie and Buck in the wrong place at the wrong time but they were involved with some very dangerous people. Particularly, a deadly couple who pose as two ex-hippies but are actually cut-throat drug traffickers. In addition, a maniacal drug-lord from Chicago with a penchant for carving people up with knives just for kicks.

Alex McKnight gets himself in and out of deadly situations with regularity --- but the scenario set in DIE A STRANGER may not be one he or his close friends are able to work their way out of. This novel reads like a house afire and ends way too soon. I cherish the Alex McKnight series and any time spent with this character and his native northern Michigan brethren is always a good time and some of the best reading in the crime fiction genre today!

Alex continues to commute up and down I-75 between "downstate" and his home in Paridise, MI on the upper peninsula. This book was made more enjoyable to me as parts of it took place near my home. It was a revelation to me to realize that the biggest Indian reservation in Michigan is near Mpount Pleasant, though their casino in that location is quite impressive. This book does give some of the backstory to Alex's close friend Vinnie which should be a plus for fans of the series.
