Cold Wicked Lies
(2020)(The third book in the Cold Justice: Crossfire series)
A novel by Toni Anderson
A by-the-book FBI negotiator. A battle-hardened HRT operator. A murdered girl, an armed siege, and a mountain full of secrets neither of them is supposed to dig into.
When a young woman is found murdered on a remote Washington mountainside, top FBI Crisis Negotiator Charlotte Blood is sent to defuse the armed standoff between local authorities and the doomsday-prepper compound at its center. Diplomatic, empathetic, and unshakably calm, Charlotte can talk her way out of almost anything—except the infuriating man assigned to work the case at her side.
HRT team leader Payne Novak has no patience for playing detective or making nice with people who flout the law. He wants inside the compound and the siege over—fast. Forced to partner with the quietly determined negotiator, the highly skilled operative braces to clash with her at every turn. What he doesn’t brace for is falling for her.
As the clock ticks and long-buried lies rise to the surface, Charlotte and Novak discover they have far more in common than either expected. But the closer they get to the truth about the dead girl, the more dangerous the mountain becomes—and Charlotte learns there are some situations she can’t talk her way out of. Now survival depends on trusting the one man she swore she’d never want.
Do the job. Get her to safety. Suffer later.
