Over 1,700 pages of gripping crime fiction from a former Buffalo PD cold case detective.
Meet a detective who’s as relentless as a Lake Erie winter. The complete series in one outstanding-value box set.
Strong female lead. Buffalo cold. Cases everyone else gave up on.
In the freezing grip of upstate New York, Buffalo Cold Case Homicide detective Lauren Riley is as unyielding as the snow that comes howling in off the lake. She’s twice divorced, raised two daughters alone, and they’re grown now. Her partner Shane Reese has her back. Every cold case on her desk hides a killer who thought time was on their side.
Lauren doesn’t break. She digs in. She carries the scars of a career spent inside the room with people who do unspeakable things. She knows the longer a case stays cold, the more comfortable a killer gets, and that’s exactly when they make a mistake.
But her latest case isn’t cold — it’s red hot. When a married mother of two is found strangled behind a store, a teenage boy is accused of murder. His DNA is under the victim’s fingernails. His prints are on her car. But for Lauren, dragged into the investigation against her will, something doesn’t add up. And the deeper she digs, the more she suspects that nothing about this case is as it first seems.
These mysteries deliver authentic procedural detail, pitch-perfect dialogue, and a heroine who keeps coming back no matter how hard the case hits. With twenty years inside the Buffalo Police Department behind her, author Lissa Marie Redmond writes from the desk Lauren Riley sits at.
These compelling procedurals are perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner, Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen and J.A. Jance.
