NEW YORK (AP) — Prize-winning crime writer Steve Hamilton has a new publisher just days after leaving St. Martin’s Press over what he cited as lack of support.
Hamilton has a four-book deal with G.P. Putnam’s Sons, the publisher told The Associated Press on Thursday. Hamilton’s “The Second Life of Nick Mason,” originally scheduled for release this fall by the St. Martin’s imprint Minotaur, will come out in 2016.
Hamilton, 54, is known for his Alex McKnight series and has two more McKnight novels in his contract with Putnam.
In 1999, his McKnight book “A Cold Day In Paradise” won an Edgar Award, presented by the Mystery Writers of America, for best first novel. Hamilton’s “The Lock Artist” won the Edgar in 2011 for the best book overall.
