Publisher Description
With Night Work, award-winning author of the acclaimed Alex McKnight series Steve Hamilton delivers an atmospheric stand-alone thriller.
Joe Trumbull is not a man who scares easily. But tonight he is scared to death.
It’s been two years since the murder of Joe’s fiancée, Laurel. Two years of grief and loneliness. On this hot summer night, he is finally going on a blind date, his first since Laurel’s death. He’s not looking for love, just testing the waters to see if it’s possible to live a normal life again. And after the first awkward minutes, Joe starts to think this date wasn’t such a bad idea after all. In fact, maybe it will turn out to be one of the best things that ever happened to him.
He couldn’t be more wrong. Because somehow, for reasons Joe doesn’t yet understand, this one evening will mark the beginning of a new nightmare—a nightmare that will lead him to realize that the past is never past. And the worst is yet to come.

" good twist at the end "
— Lin, 1/21/2011 -
" I found this story depressing. I just couldn't get excited about it. There were too many 'bad parts'. Not enough positive to carry it along. "
— Dee, 10/27/2010 -
" Not too bad, ended kind of abruptly - all questions answered very quickly... seemed rushed given the pace of the book to that point. "
— Chris, 2/19/2010 -
" It was okay. Maybe it was because I was not invested in the characters, or some of the plot points were a little much to accept, but I was not that into it. I find I am pretty jaded to exaggeration (or Hollywoodesque showiness) in my crime fiction lately.<br/> "
— David, 2/18/2010 -
" A good, well-written thriller. It felt good to be reading a Steve Hamilton book again, even though it wasn’t an Alex McKnight mystery. "

" A must Read if you enjoy Hamilton. !!!! Awesome book! "
— Elizabeth, 11/21/2009 -
" This is my second Steve Hamilton book. I liked it almost as much as "A Cold Day in Paradise" but not quite as much. Would have given it 3 1/2 stars if I could. He certainly weaves a complex mystery. I have to admit I had difficulty putting this book down. "
— Rhod, 10/29/2009 -
" I was entertained by this book. I think I prefer Hamilton's Alex McKnight series, but this book was quick, engrossing and original. <br/> "
— Amber, 9/3/2009 -
" This was good,compelling in parts, but what I enjoyed most was the local setting. It was fun to know well all the locations the characterts passed through. We even owned a condo where Joe Trumbell's friend, Howie, lived! "
