A relentless blizzard. A fifteen-year-old cold case. And a killer who's been waiting for the snow to fall.
Detective Nora Vance came to Willow Creek Ranch for a routine interview about a missing uncleâjust five questions, a signature, and a heated hotel room in Steamboat by nightfall. Instead, she finds herself snowbound with Cole MacIntyre: a rancher with a physicist's mind, a boxer's hands, and secrets buried as deep as the drifts piling against his porch. When the power dies, the phone lines snap, and the generator's fuel line is cleanly severed, Nora realizes the storm isn't the only thing trying to kill them. Someone knows she's reopened the file. Someone knows what Walter MacIntyre discovered before he vanished. And they've cut off every way out.
Trapped in a house with more shadows than lights, Nora and Cole must trust each other to survive a night where the temperature isn't the only thing dropping. But as the investigation heats up between bursts of gunfire and long hours by the woodstove, the line between suspect and ally blursâand the attraction sparking in the dark becomes the most dangerous complication of all. In a valley where the dead don't stay buried, the truth won't wait for spring.
