Misery Bay
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
On a frozen January night, a young man hangs himself in a lonely corner of the Upper Peninsula, in a place they call Misery Bay. Alex McKnight does not know this young man, and he won't even hear about the suicide until two months later, when the last person Alex would ever expect comes to him for help.
What seems like a simple quest to find a few answers will turn into a nightmare of sudden violence and bloody revenge, and a race against time to catch a ruthless and methodical killer. McKnight knows all about evil. Mobsters, drug dealers, hit men―he's seen them all, and they've taken away almost everything he's ever loved. But none of them could have ever prepared him for the darkness he's about to face.
A New York Times bestseller, Michigan Notable Book, and Boston Globe Best Crime Book of the Year, Steve Hamilton's Misery Bay marks the return of one of crime fiction's most critically acclaimed series.

Starred review from April 4, 2011
In Hamilton's superb eighth suspense novel featuring PI Alex McKnight (after A Stolen Season), McKnight looks into the murders of three young people, all made to look like suicides. McKnight, a retired Detroit cop who lives quietly in rural Paradise, Mich., receives an unexpected visit from Sault Ste. Marie police chief Roy Maven, his professional nemesis. Maven thinks McKnight can help a friend, U.S. marshal Charles "Raz" Razniewski, the father of the first "suicide" victim, a college student found hanging from a tree near Misery Bay one cold winter night. When Raz turns up murdered, McKnight and Maven partner to solve the multiple crimes. After the murders of the fathers of the other victims, FBI agent Janet Long joins the case. The stark frozen landscape of Lake Superior is beautifully drawn as are the characters of McKnight and Maven, who develop an unlikely bond. Assured prose, a thrilling plot, and a surprising, satisfying conclusion make this a winner. Author tour.

March 5, 2012
In Hamilton's latest thriller in the popular Alex McKnight series, when a young man apparently commits suicide in Misery Bay, police chief Roy Maven convinces McKnight to set aside their differences to investigate. Maven hopes the private eye will convince the dead man's bereaved father that foul play wasn't involved. But when a second murder is committed (this time in the chief's home), McKnight and Maven are forced to work together to stay alive. Dan John Miller provides winning narration in this audio edition. His rendition of McKnight is properly thoughtful, annoyed, sarcastic, and understanding. Miller's version of Maven is gruff, loud, and heavily accented, while the rest of the castâfrom the Irish owner of McKnight's favorite tavern to the creepy, demented killerâis provided with equally appropriate voices. Fans of the series will definitely be entertained. A Minotaur hardcover.
