Part of Alex McKnight, book 8
First published 2011
A young man ties a rope around his neck on a frozen January night in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A snowmobiler discovers his body thirty-six hours later, eyes staring across the cold waters of Lake Superior. Alex McKnight knows nothing about this death until two months later when an unexpected visitor walks into the Glasgow Inn asking for help. What starts as a straightforward search for answers becomes something far more dangerous. McKnight faces sudden violence and bloody revenge as he races to stop a killer. The former Detroit cop has confronted evil before. A madman murdered his partner and left a bullet near his heart. He has dealt with mobsters, drug dealers, and hit men who stripped away nearly everything he loved. But this new darkness will test him like nothing before.
