"The Man in the Crooked Hat" by Harry Dolan is a mystery about a serial killer in the Midwest. Jack Pellum is a disgraced cop turned Private I that is only interested in one case: his wife's murder. Shortly before his wife was killed, Jack saw a man in a crooked hat that stood out. For the next few years Jack's only agenda is finding that man. Soon the pieces start to come together and he is on the trail of not just one serial killer, but two. Michael Underhill is a man with a wicked past that has found the love of a good woman and the future he feels he deserves. It's all within reach if his past will just stay dead and Pellum will stay out of it.
The novel goes back and forth between the two men as they are both the hunter and the hunted. The story is pretty good. I like the storyline and the character development. The body count was a little to high at the end of the book for authenticity, but I guess some serial killers are better than others. I liked the book. I received this book from www.firsttoread.com.
