Praise for “A Cold Day In Hell”

“Recommend this one to anyone who loves courtroom dramas where lawyers tear into witnesses like pit bulls. And to anyone hot for a police procedural where tired cops make mistakes but slowly, relentlessly—and with morbid humor—get the job done. Redmond delivers both in one package…The real attraction here is a keyhole view into a world that turns our expectations upside down… Keep your eyes on Redmond, a retired cop who knows how to write.”

- BOOKLIST

“A detective’s complicated past catches up with her when she investigates a murder….The first in a planned series by Redmond, a retired police detective, is an excellent police procedural combined with a psychological thriller.”

- KIRKUS

“Buffalo, N.Y., cold case detective Lauren Riley, the heroine of Redmond’s promising first novel and series launch, is also a licensed PI. It’s in that latter capacity that lawyer Frank Violanti, with whom Lauren has tangled in court, hires her. His 18-year-old godson, David Spencer, has been charged with the second-degree murder…Redmond, a recently retired Buffalo PD homicide detective, keeps everything moving nicely in this well-constructed crime novel.”
