After all, Maximilian Rose, convicted of the crimes, has been locked in the state pen for years, But in the small town of Paradise, Michigan, where McKnight has traded his badge for a cozy cabin in the woods, a murderer with Rose's unmistakable trademarks appears to be back to his killing ways. Other than the bullet lodged less than a centimeter from his heart, former Detroit police officer Alex McKnight thought he had put the nightmare of his partner's death and his own near-fatal injury behind him. Now, open its covers and see for yourself why this extraordinary novel has galvanized the literary and mystery community as no other book before it. In an unprecedented literary event, Steve Hamilton's "A Cold Day In Paradise" has hit mystery's Double Play, winning the two most prestigious honors in the business- the Edgar and Shamus Awards for Best First Novel.
