Publisher's Synopsis
The PI business is sluggish during the frigid winter months. When a young woman hires Wells/Collins Investigations to poke around at her grandfather's assisted living facility, we expect a routine case. But my partner Kevin and I immediately spot major problems at the complex with lax security, unqualified healthcare personnel and a shady senior citizen volunteer agency.
Meanwhile, a blizzard traps me at the Collins ranch alone with my father, leaving me no escape from the biting cold and my bitter memories. After I return from snowbound hell, I learn that our client's grandfather wandered off during the blizzard. Questions arise about who inherits the dead man's sizeable estate, and Kevin and I fear we've been snowed.
As if that's not enough to make my blood boil, a missing ranch hand's body is unearthed on my dad's land, forcing me to examine my family loyalty. And when Tony Martinez's power struggles within the Hombres' organization places us both in mortal danger, I question whether I've been blinded to the cold hard truths in my life by love or by hate.
As I plow through secrets and lies, my discovery chills me to the bone and I realize someone wants to put the past--and me--on ice permanently.
