Publisher Description

When a fire is done, what’s left is only half-destroyed. It is charred and brittle. It is obscene. There is nothing so ugly in all the world as what a fire leaves behind, covered in ashes and smoke and a smell you’ll think about every day for the rest of your life. Reluctant investigator Alex McKnight finds himself drawn by friendship into a long drive north. The brother of Alex’s longtime Ojibwa friend Vinnie LeBlanc works as a hunting guide, serving the rich clients from downstate. It seems that Vinnie’s brother and his most recent group of hunters have vanished in northern Ontario, and Vinnie is scared enough to ask Alex to help him find them. Their arrival sets in motion a heart-pounding string of events that leaves Alex and his friend miles from civilization, stranded in the heart of the Canadian wilderness with no food, no weapons -and no way out. And there’s someone out there who definitely does not want them to make it back alive. At once elegant and enormously suspenseful, Steve Hamilton’s Blood Is the Sky heralds his arrival as one of the premier crime writers working today.

“Blood is The Sky is brilliant. Some books you can’t put down because the story is so compelling. Some books you can’t put down because the prose is so spellbinding. And then, every once in a while, you read a book that combines both. Steve Hamilton has written the best private eye novel—heck, maybe the best novel—I’ve read this year.”

— Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author 

Quotes

  • “Steve Hamilton writes the kind of stories that [one] can’t resist.”

    — New York Time Book Review

    — Michael Connelly, New York Times bestselling author
  • “Heartily delivers on suspense, atmosphere, and riveting action.”

    — Denver Post

    — Kirkus Reviews  (starred review)
  • “A fine writer, [Hamilton] excels at describing the lonely locale as well as depicting such memorable characters.”

    — Publishers Weekly

    — Entertainment Weekly
  • “Hamilton never misses a beat.”

    — Rocky Mountain News

    — Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
