About the book
In the words of Lee Child on Gone to Dust, “I want more of Nils Shapiro.” Emmy-award winning and New York Times bestselling author Matt Goldman happily obliges by bringing the Minneapolis private detective back for another thrilling, standalone adventure in Broken Ice.
Nils Shapiro has been tasked with locating missing teenager Linnea Engstrom in the small northern hockey town of Warroad, MN. The majority of Warroad residents are in Minneapolis for the state high school hockey tournament, while Linnea has not returned after last night's game. Additionally, Linnea's friend Haley Housch is missing and tragically found deceased.
While at the crime scene for Haley Housch, Nils is shot in the arm with an arrow. Thanks to the swift actions of medical examiner Char Northagen, Nils' life is saved.
Despite needing to be in the hospital recuperating from his life-threatening injury, Nils understands the urgency of the situation. With Linnea's whereabouts unknown and someone working against her discovery, time is of the essence. Is Linnea a victim of foul play, or is she involved in a perilous game? As the body count rises, Nils and Ellegaard follow the clues north to Warroad, a seemingly tranquil town harboring numerous secrets.
