Canadian Writer Sets His Sleuth Stories in Hong Kong and Macau
Ian Hamilton burst onto the Canadian crime fiction scene in 2011 with The Water Rat of Wanchai. The novel introduced readers to Ava Lee, a jet-setting – and crime-solving – forensic accountant. Since then, he’s published three more Ava Lee novels, the most recent of which, The Red Pole of Macau, was published in September. With another instalment arriving just after Christmas – and Hamilton about to enter the U.S. market for the first time – Postmedia’s Mark Medley recently spoke to the Burlington, Ont., author about exotic locales, the evolution of his characters and what comes next.
