Hard Cold Winter

fullDescription

Former Army Ranger and thief Van Shaw is thrust into danger as lethal and unpredictable as the war he left behind in this emotionally powerful and gritty follow up to the acclaimed Past Crimes.

When an old crony of Van Shaw's late grandfather calls in a favor, the recently-discharged Ranger embarks on a dangerous journey to the Olympic Mountains, in search of a missing girl tied to Van's own criminal past. What he finds instead is a brutal murder scene, including a victim from one of Seattle's most influential families.

But the dead bodies are only the start of Van's troubles. A fellow Ranger from Afghanistan turns up at Van's doorstep, seeking support from his former sergeant even as Van wrestles with his own reemerging symptoms of PTSD. The murder investigation leads to heavy pressure, with a billionaire businessman on one side and vicious gangsters on the other, each willing to play dirty to get what they want.

The price of his survival may be too high, demanding moral compromises that could destroy Van's relationship with his iron-willed girlfriend, Luce. And when a trusted friend's betrayal pushes him to the edge, Van has to enlist help from some unexpected places—including someone he believed was lost forever.

The Ranger will need every ally he can get. A powerful, unseen player is about to unleash a firestorm on Seattle that will burn Van and his people to ashes—and it will take a miracle to stop it.

     " Hamilton renders the ample violent action effectively, but the best parts of the story are the vignettes he intersperses depicting Van and Elana's criminal exploits when they were 17. " — Publishers Weekly on HARD COLD WINTER

     "Hamilton skillfully creates a well-oiled situation with a direct writing style... brimming with action, conflict, and realistic and compelling characters. Readers of the first book will be delighted with the backstory, and aficionados of the genre will eat this one up." — Library Journal (starred review) on HARD COLD WINTER

     "Hard Cold Winter by Glen Erik Hamilton combines a mysterious plot with very powerful characters. In Hard Cold Winter, readers will learn more about what makes Van tick through an interesting backstory. This plot has likeable characters, a good mystery, and is informative about what combat veterans must face." — Military Press on HARD COLD WINTER

     "The Seattle setting is wet and wild, and the action rings true, even when it borders on James Bond outrageousness. It's a noirish mystery, a caper in a conundrum, a buddy action tale, a bittersweet romance, and a nail-biter of a thriller." — Kings River Life Magazine on HARD COLD WINTER

     In Hamilton’s entertaining sequel to 2015’s Past Crimes, Elana Coll, the niece of the massive Will Willard, who was once the closest crony of former Army ranger Van Shaw’s late grandad in Seattle, has gone missing. Will wants Van to locate her. After all, Elana was close to Van when both were teenage thieves. Elana was heading for the cabin of her rich boyfriend, Kend Haymes, in the Olympic Forest when she fell off the grid. Van hikes to the remote cabin, where he discovers Kend and Elana shot to death. What was the motive? Van hooks up with former Afghanistan ranger and sniper Leonard Pak to learn why the young couple was killed. The mayhem that follows uncovers a Byzantine conspiracy generated by Russian gangsters and corrupt business tycoons. Hamilton renders the ample violent action effectively, but the best parts of the story are the vignettes he intersperses depicting Van and Elana’s criminal exploits when they were 17. Agent: Lisa Erbach Vance, Aaron Priest Literary Agency.

     Van Shaw is easily bored. He seeks the thrill of dangerous action the way gamblers hunger for the rush. As a teenager, he helped steal a roomful of optical lenses and spent an exquisite few minutes hanging from the side of a building, hoping the cops wouldn't spot him. Later, as an Army ranger in Afghanistan, he almost shocks himself when he has a fine time charging an enemy ambush. Now, back home in Seattle, Shaw agrees to help out a friend of his late grandfather's and finds himself on a trek to the Olympic Mountains, investigating a double murder. This is where the novel runs on rails, making all the predictable stops: the warning from ape-necked thugs; the lying client; the bomb tossed through the door; the involvement of the rich guy. Some readers won't mind this reliance on formula, especially since Hamilton stages the scenes with understated skill. Others will want to know more about Shaw than just his love of fistfights and flying bullets. As his buddy observes when the mayhem begins, You're happier than I've seen you in weeks. As is, it's a fine ride for action lovers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
