Heart of Ice

A pregnant woman found dead in an icy pond, three sorority girls murdered – and Sheriff Emily Kenyon's daughter may be next on the killer's list.

In the sleepy town of Cherrystone, Washington, Sheriff Emily Kenyon is consumed with the case of Amanda Crawford – young, pregnant, and days from giving birth – whose lifeless body is recovered from freezing waters. All evidence points to Amanda's controlling husband Mitch, but as Emily struggles to build her case, she's suddenly thrust into a nightmare that spans three states.

When Emily is called to consult on a series of sorority murders, she finds herself investigating meticulously staged crime scenes. Each victim appears to be part of a calculated rehearsal for something more sinister.

As Emily races to connect the dots between the murders and Amanda’s killer, she realizes the predator has been perfecting his technique on each victim, working toward the one woman he truly wants to make suffer. Emily’s daughter.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen delivers a bone-chilling thriller where a mother's dedication to justice becomes a fight for her daughter's life.
