Homicide Detective DeHavilland Beans is back in his hometown with a case much more dangerous—and personal—than it seems.
Told through multiple points of view, this thrilling sequel to Cold to the Touch is perfect for fans of Alice Henderson and Dana Stabenow.
A shocking discovery on a remote beach brings Detective DeHavilland Beans back to his Yukon River hometown—and a missing person's case turns into a murder investigation. On administrative leave after an unsettling officer-involved shooting, Beans comes to the aid of his childhood friend and sole police officer in the village, Felicia Gunnerson, who is leading the case.
The new evidence suggests the missing man, Lloyd Paul, the overindulged scion of a prominent family, was murdered. Lloyd had a contentious relationship with many of the locals, especially with Beans and his mother, Mari.
As Beans and Felicia dig deeper, events that neither of them could have predicted are set in motion. Meanwhile, in the San Francisco Bay area, Mari uncovers secrets that threaten to rewrite the Beans family’s history.
Spanning a sprawling time frame ranging from World War II to the present day, the danger has never felt closer to home.
Kerri Hakoda was born in Hawaii but calls the Pacific Northwest home and Alaska her inspiration. She lives with her husband in northwest Washington, where she writes mystery, historical, and Young Adult sci-fi fiction.
