Cold River
by Carla Neggers

A past she wants to forget collides with a cold-blooded murder he is determined to solve...

Hannah Shay has finally shown the town of Black Falls what she’s worth. Her Three Sisters Café is a success and she’s soon to become a prosecutor. When the café becomes an epicenter for investigators trying to pierce a violent crime ring that’s leaving bloody trails in nearby Cameron Mountain, Hannah suspects a man from her past is involved.

Sean Cameron returns to the snowy cold of his Vermont hometown to unmask his father’s killer. Sean has the skills and resources to mount his own search, but he must convince the resistant Hannah to cooperate—because the killer is ready to strike again...and closer than anyone ever imagined.

The twists and turns awaiting them will take them closer to the explosive truth...and into the sights of a killer.



Carla Neggers' Bio

Carla Neggers started writing at a young age, when she'd grab a pad and pen and climb a tree to spin stories. dadShe grew up in rural western Massachusetts with six brothers and sisters and assorted dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, sheep, guinea pigs and one cow. Her father was a Dutch sailor who immigrated to the U.S. after World War II, and her mother hails from the Florida Panhandle. They Carla's motherpacked up the car with all their belongings just before Carla, their third child, was born, and headed north to start a new life.

After graduating magna cum laude from Boston University and a brief stint as an arts and entertainment writer, Carla turned to writing fiction full-time. She has written more than 50 novels—10 of them New York Times bestsellers—and has earned raves from critics and readers alike for her unique blend of fast-paced action, suspense and romance.

In addition to writing, Carla enjoys travel, karate, hiking and kayaking. She and her husband have two children and live in Vermont , where they recently renovated their mountain house not far from picturesque Quechee Gorge.
