WINTER AND NIGHT

BACK COVER

"TERRIFIC."

--Washington Post

Private detective Bill Smith is hurtled headlong into the most provocative-and personal-case of his career when he receives a chilling late night telephone call from the NYPD, who are holding his fifteen-year-old nephew Gary. But before he can find out what's going on, Gary escapes Bill's custody and disappears into the dark and unfamiliar streets...

"WONDERFUL."

--Robert Crais, author of Hostage

Bill and his partner, Lydia Chin, try to find the missing teen and uncover what it is that has led him so far from home. Their search takes them to Gary's family in a small town in New Jersey, where they discover that one of Gary's classmates was murdered. Bill and Lydia delve into the crime-only to find it eerily similar to a decades-old murder-suicide...

"CHILLING."

--Linda A. Fairstein, author of The Deadhouse

Now, with his nephew's future-and perhaps his very life-at stake, Bill must unravel a long-buried crime and confront the darkness of his own past...

"Rozan delivers strong characters, deft plotting, and a hard-driving narrative. Don't miss this one."
