Publisher’s Weekly Review for EVERY DAY ABOVE GROUND by Glen Erik Hamilton
Hamilton’s outstanding third Van Shaw novel (after 2016’s Hard Cold Winter) fulfills the promise of the earlier entries. Shaw, a former Army ranger, is trying to stay on the right side of the law as he struggles to make ends meet with whatever part-time work he can get. He hopes that he can manage to rebuild the Seattle home he recently inherited from his thief grandfather, Donovan “Dono” Shaw, so when Mickey O’Hasson, an old criminal colleague of Dono’s, offers him a part of a score, Shaw is naturally tempted.
