A novel by

 
 

Her mother was his first victim. Now he’s come back to make Avril his last.

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author L.T. Ryan and award-winning crime writer Biba Pearce comes the first novel in a chilling FBI thriller series.

Fifteen years. More than fifty murdered women. One handmade snowflake left beside every frozen body.

FBI Special Agent Avril Dahl has spent a decade hunting the Frost Killer—the elusive serial murderer who began his reign of terror by taking her mother. The obsession has consumed her life and nearly destroyed her career.

After a disastrous encounter with a copycat, Avril returns to her childhood home in Täby, Sweden, determined to clear out her late father’s house and finally bury the past.

Then a postcard arrives from Stockholm with a message meant only for her:

This one is for Agent Dahl.

Soon, a young mother is discovered frozen in the same clearing where Avril’s mother died.

The Frost Killer is reenacting his earliest murders, drawing Avril and Swedish detective Krister Jansson across the winter-dark cities of Scandinavia. He knows where she sleeps. He knows what her mother loved. And he knows exactly how to keep her following.

Avril has waited ten years for the chance to bring him down. But to save his next victim—and avoid becoming his last—she must trust the instincts no one else believes and confront a truth that could destroy everything she thought she knew.

Cold Reckoning launches the Avril Dahl series with a haunting blend of Nordic noir, serial-killer suspense, international police procedural, cold-case obsession, wintry Scandinavian atmosphere, and slow-burn emotional tension. Perfect for readers of Karin Slaughter, Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole thrillers, and James Patterson’s Alex Cross series.
