bestselling novel returns to the merciless winters of Grizzly Falls, Montana to pit two of her most fascinating characters—detectives and friends Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli—against a ruthless serial killer determined to make Pescoli his next victim..
The cold of winter isn’t just a nuisance in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana. It’s merciless and brutal—a weapon that a twisted serial killer uses to torture vulnerable women. Detectives Regan Pescoli and Selena Alvarez have spent months tracking down the Star-Crossed Killer, as he’s dubbed by the press. They know how devious and patient he can be. What they couldn’t have guessed is that Pescoli would be abducted by the very monster she’s been hunting . . .
Pescoli knows too much about her captor and his methods to doubt her fate. She’s a trophy he’s content to taunt for now, but eventually, he’ll tire of her too. Until then, his killing spree continues, stretching the police department—and Alvarez—to the breaking point.
Desperate to bring her missing partner safely home, Alvarez teams up with Pescoli’s on-again, off-again lover, Nate Santana. But as the body count rises, a macabre pattern emerges. And Pescoli, though using every ounce of skill she possesses, knows that even if she escapes her captor’s lair, the battle for survival is just beginning . . .
