Synopsis

Joe Trumble is a probation officer with a tragedy in his past. Two years ago his fiancee was brutally killed three days before their wedding. No one has yet been caught. As the story opens, Joe is heading for a blind date with Marlene, a jewellery designer, his first encounter with a woman since his late fiancee Laurel's death. The evening is a success, but next day Marlene is reported missing. Two days later her body is found. As the last person to see her alive, Joe is at the very least a material witness and, as the evidence mounts and another body is found, suspicion begins to centre on him.

Book Overview: Steve Hamilton won the Edgar Award for his first novel. Since then he has been nominated twice for the Anthony Award READERS' DIGEST selected BLOOD IS THE SKY for a condensed book. Usually they select brand name authors Brilliant reviews for previous novels: 'Hamilton's pacing and his simple but evocative writing, along with a heartbreaking plot development, suggests that it's about time he made the move up to crime's premier league' LONDON LIFE 'An automatic book of the year. Everything is here - his trademark sense of place, vivid, resonant characters, and a plot that will break your heart' Lee Child 'This book is relentless. I had to read it straight through. The best mysteries are about the past coming up out of the ground and grabbing the present by the throat. Steve Hamilton knows this. BLOOD IS THE SKY fills that bill and then some. This is his best yet' Michael Connelly 'Steve Hamilton reinvigorates the genre, by so clearly trusting to its intrinsic power. His first novel, A COLD DAY IN PARADISE, won the Edgar and Shamus Awards; on the basis of this... I can well see why' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
 Prizes: Shortlisted for CWA Duncan Lawrie Dagger 2008.

Media Reviews
'Steve Hamilton has written several very good novels featuring the PI Alex McKnight. NIGHT WORK is a stand-alone book and another example of his fine storytelling... He deserves to be better known this side of the Atlantic.' -- Susanna Yager Sunday Telegraph 'This could be the big break-through book from an American writer who has been knocking on Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben's doors.' Peterborough Evening Telegraph
