Two more by Hamilton who has become one of my favorites. Night Work is not about Alex McKnight, but about a probation officer, Joe Trumbull. All the women in Joe's life are coming to a bad end, starting with the woman he was about to marry who was killed while he was at his bachelor party. The dialogue and character development are typical of Hamilton -- a good and entertaining read. North of Nowhere is about Alex McKnight who is pulled out of his reclusive life style by friend Jackie, owner of the Glasgow Inn in Paradise in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Jackie insists that McKnight go with him to a poker game, and there is a take-over robbery of the house in which the game is happening. The novel is about McKnight's effort to figure out who and why, while dealing with crazy accusations that he had a part in it. I will keep Hamilton in my vacation rotation.
