reviewed on + 373 more book reviews


Female NYPD trainee Julian Palmer has come to a frigid corner of upstate New York to work alongside legendary police chief Winston "Bear" Edwards - to help solve the brutal murder of a young waitress, and perhaps learn a thing or two along the way.

Julian knows that Edwards, an Old School cop if there ever was one, isn't happy about a female rookie assisting him - or the strange local psychic they've called in to help. Still, she's a bit in awe of the old Bear - he has, after all, solved every murder case he's ever worked on. Except this one.

Now, as Julian and Edwards investigate, they are thrust into a labyrinthine mystery, where endless twists and turns keep the case as compelling as it is elusive. And as the snow continues to fall on rural New York, hiding everything beneath a glistening white blanket, it might also cover up the only thing that will solve this case: the Cold Truth...
