Reading can provide an escape from this biting cold weather gripping the
UP. Local resident and award-winning author, John Smolens knows cold and
that single word is the title of his book about a prisoner who escapes
during a snow storm. Cold captures the lives of six people who face love,
greed and the promise of a last chance set against the unforgiving terrain
of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
One of my favorite authors, mystery writer Steve Hamilton uses UP weather like a character in his Alex
McKnight novels set in Paradise, Michigan.
Hamilton’s A Cold Day in Paradise is the first book in this series of
mysteries featuring a retired cop turned reluctant private eye. Is Alex
imagining things, or is the man who shot him and killed his partner on the
loose and stalking him?Warm up with a good book from the library.
