Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Gerritsen paces Ice Cold with surgical precision.”—Salon
A spur-of-the-moment ski trip becomes a bone-chilling nightmare when a wrong turn leaves Boston medical examiner Maura Isles marooned—far from home and help—in the snowbound Wyoming mountains. Seeking shelter from the cold, she and her traveling companions stumble upon Kingdom Come—a remote village of identical houses that seems to have become a ghost town overnight. But the abandoned hamlet has dark secrets to tell, and Maura’s party may not be as alone as they think. Days later, word reaches homicide cop Jane Rizzoli that Maura’s charred remains have been found at the scene of a car crash. But the shocking news leaves Jane with too many questions, and only one way to get answers. Determined to dig up the truth, she heads for the frozen desolation of Kingdom Come, where gruesome discoveries lie buried, and a ruthless enemy watches and waits.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Unpredictable twists help propel Gerritsen's winning eighth novel featuring Boston medical examiner Maura Isles and homicide detective Jane Rizzoli (after The Keepsake). While in Wyoming late one fall for a pathologists' conference, Maura agrees to join an old college acquaintance, his 13-year-old daughter, and two friends of his on a last-minute ski trip. When an accident stalls their SUV on a remote mountain road, the fivesome take refuge in an abandoned village, Kingdom Come, the home of a religious sect led by a charismatic prophet, Jeremiah Goode. But what drove the residents from their 12 identical houses, leaving food on the table and pets behind? When the local police find what they believe to be Maura's charred body and those of her four companions, Jane; her FBI agent husband, Gabriel Dean; and Fr. Daniel Brophy travel to Wyoming to conduct their own investigation. Gerritsen supplies plenty of depth in both plot and characters. TNT launches a new TV series based on this series in July.
Customer Reviews
Tess Gerritsen, a master storyteller
This novel expanded my sense of reality. The story was fictional but not completely false. Many events in the novel; “Ice Cold”, could be factual. What I loved is how Ms Gerritsen intertwined fact with fiction to provide a smooth, easy to read novel that was difficult to put down until the very end. The ending, the last few pages, enlightened me with two more unexpected twists. These twists at the ending of, “Ice Cold”, left me with a sorrowful take on mankind’s lack of care for the human race. It also left me with a truly feel good ending!
A must read!!!
My favorite book yet.
