A Cold Day in Paradise, by Steve Hamilton

A Cold Day in Paradise is Steve Hamilton's first novel.  While not as good as The Lock Artist, it was still a good read.

I never cared too deeply about the main character even though he was given a lot of background.  Perhaps it's because he wasn't striving for something.  Rather, he was merely responding to events and trying to solve a mystery.

The ending to the novel also seemed forced.  Perhaps more structure and planning could have helped lead up to the conclusion better.
