The temperature is dropping fast and time is running out.
A number of prominent figures have been killed under mysterious circumstances in the past year. All unconnected. But when an esteemed U.S. ambassador is slain in a questionable hit-and-run in Washington, D.C. and his stepdaughter vanishes mere hours later in the mountains of northern New England, suspicions are raised by a Secret Service agent and a recovering Special Forces soldier in COLD PURSUIT, the newest novel by New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers.
Secret Service agent Jo Harper finds herself on a forced sabbatical back in her hometown of Black Falls, in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, laying low after an embarrassing incident involving the vice president’s precocious son is caught on video and becomes a YouTube sensation. But she doesn’t count on old flame Elijah Cameron being around. A sergeant in the Special Forces, Elijah is recovering from a near-fatal wound received on a secret mission in Afghanistan.
However, before Jo and Elijah can dredge up the past, esteemed U.S. ambassador Alexander Bruni is killed in a suspicious hit-and-run incident, and his stepdaughter, Nora --- a recent Black Falls resident --- bolts off into the wilds on rugged Cameron Mountain.
When their sources connect the ambassador’s death to the mysterious demises of a number of other prominent figures, Elijah and Jo suspect that Nora’s vanishing is not a coincidence --- she’s disappeared for her own safety.
But how secure is she? Not a safe place at the best of times, Cameron Mountain in November is a dangerous and treacherous peak. Determined to bring Nora back before the brutal elements and the unforgiving mountain overcome her, Jo forms an uneasy alliance with Elijah and they head off after her.
But they are not the only ones looking for the young girl. A professional killer is also on Nora’s trail and is resolved to make sure she --- and anyone who gets in his way --- doesn’t get off Cameron Mountain alive.
