Missouri detective Claire Morgan is eager to get back to work after recuperating fom injuries sustained on her last job. But the missing persons case that welcomes her home in the dead of winter soon turns more twisted and treacherous than Lake of the Ozarks' icy mountain roads. The body is found suspended from a tree overlooking a local school. Bleeding from the head, still alive...but not for long. Someone wanted Professor Simon Classon to suffer as much as possible before he died, making sure the victim had a perfect view of his colleagues and students on the campus below as he succumbed to the slow-working poison in his veins. Frigid temperatures and punishing snows only make the investigation more difficult. And then the death threats begin...unerving incidents orchestrated to send Clair a deadly message. Now, as she edges closer to the truth, Claire risks becoming entangled in a maniac's web...and the stuff of her own worst nightmares... 2007. 383 pages. PB in very good condition.
