A starred review selected as the best mystery of the year by a major service.
The body of a former Everest expedition leader lies frozen to death in a meat locker. A mystery investigation explodes into an adventure thriller where Detectives Sara and Ryker must survive the most dangerous pursuit of their lives in a race against time.
They're a razor-sharp duo--equal parts wit, grit, and heart-forced to confront how far they'll go for justice, each other, and survival.
As they uncover a trail of revenge, every clue leads deeper into a web of lies tied to a tragic Everest expedition led by the victim. Each team member carries a secret and has a motive for murder: a beguiling woman with a jealous husband, a violin maker who lost three fingers, an offbeat sculptor with a temper, a man who fled within hours of the crime. A rival climber benefits from the victim's death.
Every discovery exacts a price. And as the countdown tightens, so does the line between hunter and hunted.
The high-stakes mystery with deadly twists will appeal to fans of C.J. Box, Tess Gerritsen, and Harlan Cohen.
