출판사 설명
A murder of an Icelandic man during a Full Cold Moon reminds Lauren Riley of a previous case she failed to solve. She is determined not to let it happen again.
Since her partner on the Cold Case team has been out of action after being shot in the line of duty, Lauren Riley has been working Homicide. Her latest case involves an Icelandic man murdered on the streets of Buffalo mere feet from his hotel.
The brutality of the case hits Lauren hard. When she realizes the murder was committed on the night of a Full Cold Moon, it triggers memories of the first cold case she investigated that she’s been unable to solve.
Lauren is determined not to fail again but when she is involved in a shooting with a suspect, she finds the case may be taken out of her hands . . . especially when it gains attention from the Icelandic government.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Redmond's workmanlike fourth police procedural featuring Det. Lauren Riley of the Buffalo (N.Y.) PD (after 2019's A Means to an End), Lauren, on temporary leave from the cold case unit, looks into the murder of Gunnar Jonsson, a young Icelandic man found bludgeoned to death in an alley near his hotel. Due to the victim's nationality, the FBI steps in and provides Lauren with a new partner, special agent Matthew Lawton. Lauren discovers that Gunnar came to Buffalo to meet his multimillionaire father, John Hudson, whose identity he recently discovered by taking a DNA test. Mr. Hudson was overjoyed at meeting Gunnar, but his other two children weren't. Just as Lauren identifies a local suspect, the Icelandic authorities request that she and Matthew come to Reykjav k to interview Gunnar's employer. Once in Iceland, Lauren starts to develop theories, as well as potential suspects (of which there are only two), and then lets them drop while she sees the sights of Reykjav k. Armchair travelers will have fun, but those expecting more than a cursory investigation will be disappointed.

Not as Good
Not as good as the previous 3 books in the series. More of an excuse to visit Iceland than a hard bitten procedural driven by plot and characters.
