About the book
The first in a brand-new crime thriller series from Edgar nominee and Pulitzer Prize–winning author Bryan Gruley. Feisty defence attorney, Devyn Payne faces off against veteran detective, Garth Klimmek as they work to solve a vicious double homicide in their small, icy town of Bitterfrost.
Thirteen years back, Jimmy Baker, a former ice hockey star, decided to leave the sport after nearly causing the death of an opponent. Currently, he works as a Zamboni driver for the local amateur team in Bitterfrost, Michigan, as a form of atonement. However, everything changes one morning when he wakes up to the smell of blood.
Soon enough, Jimmy is arrested for a brutal double homicide. The twist? He has no recollection of the events from that night. With mounting evidence against him, Jimmy's case is hanging on a thread. Could he really be capable of committing such a heinous crime?
While defense attorney Devyn Payne and detective Garth Klimmek race to uncover the truth, time becomes a critical factor for Jimmy. All he knows for certain is that he has the capability to take a life. The real question is, in his blackout state, did he take two lives?
This gripping drama is the introductory installment in the Bitterfrost series, an ideal choice for fans of Dennis Lehane!
