In the Dead of Winter: An absolutely heart-stopping and totally addictive crime thriller
About this ebook
As snow swirls around the small town of Black Rock Falls, a lone suitcase is abandoned at the bus station. Sheriff Jenna Alton and her deputy David Kane hold their breath and carefully draws back the zipper. Inside, curled up like a sleeping animal, is the lifeless body of a beautiful young woman.
The victim is divorcee Kate Bell, often seen walking the isolated woodland paths with her dog. It’s clear from the dirt on Kate’s clothing and the deep red lacerations matching the jagged teeth of a bear trap, that she was trapped in the pine forest before being killed and transported here. What kind of monster would do such a thing? And why?
Days later, another suitcase is found in the middle of a frozen lake. Inside, the body of sales assistant Lila Hart, last seen heading into the wilderness with her camera. In Lil’s final photo, Jenna can just make out the grainy figure of a man hidden in the trees, watching and waiting to strike.
With vital clues being lost under a blanket of fresh snow, Jenna must work fast to stop more innocent lives being taken. But a frantic phone call from a woman trapped in the woods, begging for help, has her rushing into a treacherous blizzard. Will Jenna unmask the murderer hunting women in her beloved town? Or will she be the next body delivered home in a suitcase?
Readers will be totally gripped by this gripping crime thriller from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, D.K. Hood. Perfect for fans of Kendra Elliot, Mary Stone and Lisa Regan.
**Each Kane and Alton book can be read as part of the series or as a standalone**
