Publisher Description
2017 Arthur Ellis Best First Novel Award Finalist
It’s too cold to go missing in northern B.C., as a mismatched team of investigators battle the clock while the disappearances add up.
A popular rockabilly singer has vanished in the snowbound Hazeltons of northern B.C. Lead RCMP investigator David Leith and his team work through the possibilities: has she been snatched by the so-called Pickup Killer, or does the answer lie here in the community, somewhere among her reticent fans and friends?
Leith has much to contend with: rough terrain and punishing weather, motel-living and wily witnesses. The local police force is tiny but headstrong, and one young constable seems more hindrance than help — until he wanders straight into the heart of the matter.
The urgency ramps up as one missing woman becomes two, the second barely a ghost passing through. Suspects multiply, but only at the bitter end does Leith discover who is the coldest girl of all.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A serial killer, a missing musician and two detectives battling personal traumas. RM Greenaway’s suspenseful novel unfolds in the unforgivingly icy wilderness of British Columbia, where a deeply troubled man is tasked with solving the mystery of an up-and-coming singer’s disappearance. Boasting surprising characters and a twisty plot, Greenaway’s story grows increasingly dramatic and dark. It’s a completely unputdownable crime thriller that’s as chilling as its wintry setting.
