Editorial Reviews

Prolific bestseller Jackson (Deep Freeze) introduces an intriguing pair of female detectives in this intense series opener. Deep in the winter wilderness of Montana, a serial killer sets up car accidents for women driving down secluded roads, rescues and seduces them and then ties them to trees and leaves them to die. As the bodies pile up, Det. Selena Alvarez and Det. Regan Pescoli search desperately for clues. Recent divorcée Jillian Rivers, in Montana searching for her vanished first husband, looks likely to become the next corpse when her tires are shot out and mountain man Zane MacGregor rescues her. When MacGregor vanishes from the cabin where Rivers is recovering from her injuries, she starts to wonder what his real motives are. Alvarez, Pescoli and Rivers separately edge closer to identifying the killer, but Jackson keeps them and the reader in suspense all the way to the cliffhanger ending. (Aug.)

Publishers Weekly

A serial killer is loose in the wilds of Montana. The killer targets women driving alone on treacherous, icy roads, shooting out their tires and then "rescuing" them. Eventually, the women are stripped, bound to trees, and left to die. After finding three frozen bodies, Detectives Alvarez and Pescoli join the search before another missing woman, Jillian Rivers, becomes the fourth victim. Alan Nebelthau's performance is mesmerizing. From the moment Jillian's car crashes into a ravine until she awakens in a remote cabin with her rescuer, Zane MacGregor, Nebelthau keeps listeners guessing. Is MacGregor the killer, or is it someone else? Three strong female characters, an assortment of possible psychopaths, Jackson's crisp writing, and a gifted narrator make this chilling audiobook a powerhouse listen. S.J.H.
