The cold doesn’t just kill. It hides the bodies.
Detective Harper Vance is broken. Haunted by a catastrophic failure in Chicago that left her with crippling PTSD, she’s transferred to Shatter Creek, Alaska—a remote, frozen logging town where the winter swallows everything. All she wants is silence. All she wants is to forget.
But Shatter Creek has its own ghosts.
When a category-four blizzard seals the valley off from the rest of the world, Harper is called to a gruesome crime scene in the deep timber. The victim is a young woman, left freezing in the snow. Her face has been methodically removed. And the child she was carrying has been surgically extracted.
Trapped in the ice with no radio contact, no backup, and a town full of people protecting a generational secret, Harper must hunt a predator who operates with surgical precision. But as the temperature plummets and the bodies begin to pile up, Harper realizes the most terrifying truth of all: the killer isn’t hiding in the storm. The killer is locked inside the valley with them.
And they are watching her every move.
In Shatter Creek, trust no one. Especially not the people sworn to protect you. The Ice Widows is a dark, page-turning psychological thriller and police procedural packed with jaw-dropping twists, a fiercely flawed female lead, and an ending you will never see coming. Perfect for fans of Melinda Leigh, Robert Dugoni, and Loreth Anne White.
