Summary

Homicide Detective Max Rupert never fully accepted his wife's death, even when he believed that a reckless hit and run driver was the cause. But when he learns that in fact she was murdered, he devotes himself to hunting down her killers. Most of his life he had thought of himself as a decent man. But now he's so consumed with thoughts of retribution that he questions whether he will take that last step and enact the vengeance he longs for.

On a frozen lake near the US-Canadian border, he wrestles with a decision that could change his life forever, as his hatred threatens to turn him into the kind of person he has spent a career bringing to justice.

Critic reviews

"Eskens infuses the old this-time-it's-personal trope with raw urgency, righteous indignation, and enough scorching action to melt every trace of the Minnesota snow in his finest hour to date." ( Kirkus, Starred Review)

Compelling read from start to finish

Make sure you read them in order!! Want to read more from this brilliant author who is new to me.
After reading these books, I'm spoilt. Nothing else comes close for total absorption. Eskens is a very talented writer and the narrator makes the writing even more absorbing. I can't recommend highly enough.

Depressing

It’s like popping a pimple … I knew it had to come to a head so didn’t really expect it to be uplifting !
Hoping the next one finds him back on a better path

Study of cold

I enjoyed the 3rd of the series a little less than the other 2 as there were fewer turns in the plot, but as a piece of writing that puts you in a place at a certain moment in the character’s life and his literal physical situation in a moment in time. It was stunning. I was cold in the middle of summer

Enjoyable

I found the first and third books in this series to be the most enjoyable. Nevertheless this book is definitely worth a listen. So glad I stumbled upon this author. I have enjoyed getting to know Max.
