P.J. Parrish's best book yet." — Mystery Scene magazine
Shamus and Anthony Award finalist!
A deep freeze is bearing down on the Florida Everglades, the kind of
brutal storm the locals call a killing rain. For detective Louis
Kincaid, the coldest night of the year has brought a terrifying new
chill -- the kidnapping of a boy who has come to look up to Louis as a
father-figure. But Louis soon realizes this is not a routine
kidnapping. It is the start of a killing spree by two ruthless men who
are using the boy as a pawn in a deadly game. With time running out,
Kincaid must track his twisted adversaries who are one step away from
committing the ultimate horror.
"Not many authors today so successfully combine an examination of the
characters' psychological lives with hardcore action and unrelenting
suspense the way that Parrish can...truly compelling reading." — Oline
