Review of A Killer in the Wind

Posted on January 7, 2013 by Stan Guthrie

By JOHN WILSON

The title of Andrew Klavan’s sizzling new novel has three meanings. “We had gotten a warrant a week before. Out of Tennessee,” recalls Klavan’s narrator and protagonist, Dave Champion, who works for the Sheriff’s Department in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation. “A killer in the wind. Frank Bagot, his name was. He had beaten a girl to death in Nashville—God knows why. Had outrun the police when they moved in on him, shooting one officer in the leg, shattering his shinbone. He was armed and dangerous, without much to lose. And I had a feeling from the start he’d be heading my way.”
