What to expect
‘HELP! I am addicted to this series! Unputdownable’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Snow is falling. Murder is calling.
Journalist Gordon Carver receives news that sends a chill down his spine. Rushing home from the pub, he frantically calls his police contact, DCI James Walker to share his discovery, only to be struck from behind, plunging him into darkness.
James misses the call, and by the time he arrives at the crime scene, Gordon is dead. With his name as the last entry in Gordon's phone, James is thrust into a chilling investigation. What vital information was Gordon about to reveal, and who silenced him?
With no witnesses and scant evidence, James races against time to uncover the truth. Can he uncover the mystery before the killer slips away?
