Synopsis
A YOUNG GIRL MURDERED IN A SMALL MOUNTAIN TOWN A POLICE TRAINEE WORKING HER FIRST HOMICIDE A LEGENDARY COP WORKING HIS LAST CASE AN EERIE LOCAL PSYCHIC A BRUTAL KILLER WITH A STONE-COLD HEART Julian Palmer - a young female New York City police trainee - leaves the sleet and sludge of a Manhattan winter for an internship in northern New York State. Her new boss, legendary police chief Winston Bear Edwards, has solved every murder case he's ever worked on ... except one. On the eve of his retirement, Edwards is baffled, it seems, by the brutal murder of a young waitress. With no clues and no suspects, he grudgingly accepts the services of a famous local psychic. Suddenly, the case tumbles headlong in new directions, mounting evidence turns in on itself, and Julian begins to discover the shocks and secrets buried beneath a small town's shimmering blanket of snow. The Cold Truth is that rare novel that comes along every few years and redefines the genre. In a time when thrillers rely increasingly on gimmicks, high concepts, or out -of -this -world scenarios, here is a lean, taut, no nonsense, great read. Like A Simple Plan and The Silence of the Lambs, The Cold Truth relies on fresh, original characters and sharp, clean writing for a fast paced puzzle that will keep you guessing till the last page. Fast and Furious, mazey and gothic, with a solution as chilling as an upstate New York winter. This is prime entertainment.

LESLIE GLASS, NATIONALLY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF JUDGING TIME Jonathan Stone's The Cold Truth is a strong debut. It's smart, fast, and light on its feet. Stone has a gift for the whodunit, and he takes delight in spinning heads, playing with our emotions and our intellects,
