Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime thrillers with high personal stakes where the detective's emotions matter as much as the investigation.
  • You're drawn to procedural mysteries with weather-driven tension and small-town secrets that run deeper than they first appear.
  • You enjoy series where you've built trust with the protagonist and want to see them tested in their most dangerous case yet.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone thrillers over long-running series where you'd need to catch up on previous books.
  • You're sensitive to child abduction storylines or plots where a child's safety is the central emotional pressure point.
  • You dislike stories where weather becomes almost a character itself, slowing the pace with environmental detail.

About this book

Ten-year-old Teddy's mother warns him to dress warmly for school as a blizzard approaches. Moments later, gunshots ring out from an exclusive home on Northern Pine Lake's edge. When police arrive, Teddy's mother and her new boyfriend are dead in the kitchen, and Teddy has vanished. Agent Tori Hunter races through the snowstorm to investigate. Local police suspect Teddy's father, recently divorced and jealous. But as Tori interviews those who know him, her instincts tell her otherwise. When Teddy's father is found dead at an abandoned vacation resort, Tori's doubts are confirmed. Following tire tracks from the crime scene, Tori receives a chilling call: Teddy is safe, but only temporarily. The caller demands she meet alone—no guns, no backup. Surrounded by the worst blizzard Manchester Bay has seen in decades, Tori agrees to go it alone. She realizes the case involves far more than one missing child and that a deadly, decades-old secret connected to the abandoned resort could endanger the entire community. With Teddy's life and those of her loved ones at stake, Tori must find the kidnappers before time runs out.
