Brian Freeman
Duluth, Minn., police Lieutenant Jonathan Stride returns in another rousing tale of suspense and intrigue in Brian Freeman’s fast-paced new thriller, The Cold Nowhere. Set in a snowy, freezing winter on Lake Superior, The Cold Nowhere is a crime drama that involves a terribly damaged 16-year-old young woman who unexpectedly turns up in Stride’s cottage seeking assistance. The girl, who isn’t a stranger to Stride, seems to attract death, and after having witnessed the brutal murder of her mother and the death of her father, now finds herself with a killer on her heels. In seeking to protect her, Stride faces a bevy of unexpected twists and turns that make for an emotional and chilling story of page-turning mystery.
