THE MAN IN THE CROOKED HAT
A Novel
One cryptic clue leads a desperate man into a labyrinthine puzzle of murder in this electrifying new stand-alone crime novel from bestselling author Harry Dolan.
Private investigator Jack Pellum has spent two years searching for the man who he believes murdered his wifea man he last saw wearing a pea coat and a fedora. Months of posting fliers and combing through crime records yield no leads. Then a local writer commits suicide, and he leaves a bewildering message that may be the first breadcrumb in a winding trail of unsolved murders.
Michael Underhill is a philosophical man preoccupied by what-ifs and could-have-beens, but his life is finally coming together. He has a sweet and beautiful girlfriend, and together they're building their future home. Nothing will go wrong, not if Underhill has anything to say about it. The problem is, Underhill has a dark and secret past, and it's coming back to haunt him.
These two men are inexorably drawn together in a mystery where there is far more than meets the eye, and nothing can be taken for granted. Filled with devious reversals and razor-sharp tension, THE MAN IN THE CROOKED HAT is a masterwork from "one of America's best new crime writers" (Lansing State Journal).
Harry Dolan is the author of BAD THINGS HAPPEN (Putnam, 2009), VERY BAD MEN (Putnam, 2011), and THE LAST DEAD GIRL (Putnam, 2014). He graduated from Colgate University, where he majored in philosophy and studied fiction-writing with the novelist Frederick Busch. He grew up in Rome, New York, and now lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
