Cold Nowhere by Brian Freeman
I was lucky enough to receive a copy of The Cold Nowhere to review, as
its UK release date is 9th
May 2013(HB £12.99, ebook £12.99).

with riveting characters and a damn good plot.

Then, sixteen year old Cat turns up at Stride’s home,
covered in blood and drenched in Lake water.She claims that someone is trying to kill her.Stride, checks out her story, which is
corroborated and is convinced she is at risk.His partner, Maggie, is not convinced of Cats’ innocence, particularly
when she discovers the teenager always carries a knife with her.
Whilst Maggie pursues possible involvement…
