Synopsis

A chance encounter with a stranger changes the life of Britt Montero forever. He lies dead in Miami's morgue, but obviously has a story to tell. The electrocuted thief with old distinctive scars on his body may be the key that unlocks the long-sought secrets of a old case. Sunny, the Ice Maiden, was the victim of a shocking crime. She and her date, abducted by strangers after a high school dance, were both assaulted, shot in the head and left for dead in a remote farm field. The boy did die. Sunny barely survived and is now a reclusive artist and sculptor. As Britt and Miami's Cold Case Squad search for answers, nothing is as it seems. Britt unravels the story but suffers a shocking personal tragedy.

Goodreads review by Brian on February 01, 2021

Picked this up because I'm looking for mysteries based on cold case squads and... eh. It's the 8th book in this series but Buchanan does a good job grounding you in everyone from the prior books who matters. Parts of the mystery work fine, others not so much, and the tendency to try to make your cri......more
