THE SECRETS THEY LEFT BEHIND

Three missing girls, no leads, a vault of dark secrets, and a case that’s getting chillier by the minute, set the stage for this nail-biting procedural from former cold case homicide detective and acclaimed author Lissa Marie Redmond.
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.
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
