Riddle Island

An Alex McKnight Short Story

By: Steve Hamilton

Narrated by: Dan John Miller

On the afternoon of July 30, 1975, former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa left the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, never to be seen again. Over 200 FBI agents have been working the case in the 44 years since that day - digging up end zones, driveways, hay fields, and horse farms - and yet Hoffa’s body has never been found.

In this story by two-time Edgar Award-winning, New York Times best-selling author Steve Hamilton, Alex McKnight - the former Detroit cop and protagonist of 11 critically acclaimed novels that have sold over a million copies - is sitting at the rail in the Glasgow Inn when a local old-timer tells him an unusual story. It’s the kind of small-town mystery that won’t let Alex sleep at night, but when he goes hunting for answers, he stumbles upon the biggest surprise of his life.

Forty-four years later, the disappearance of James Riddle Hoffa is still the most notorious open case in American crime history....

And Alex McKnight is about to solve it.

Excellent narration and plot

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story which held my interest from the start. The narrator was perfect. The story-line was definitely intriguing—I won’t say more because it’d be a spoiler. I shall look for more work by this author.

At last a Steve Hamiltot / Alex McKnight story, if only a short one

A welcome return from a great artist. It was wonderful to read a real Steve Hamilton again, if a short one

a good short story

agood short story with a surprise ending that could be a true story. I enjoyed it and recommend it.

I love Alex Mcknight series!

Loved the performance and short story. Thanks to Steve Hamilton for his brilliant writing! i wish they would make a series or movie. I can't wait for the next book!

Could have been longer

Was an entertaining short story. Wish the author would have made it longer, seems like it would’ve made a good full length novel.
