Ryder: Steele Shadows Investigations

Summary

He's an ex-con who just wants to be left alone. She's stranded in the middle of a blizzard—a broken soul . . . an invitation to danger.

When Louise Sloane's search for a missing person brings her to the snow-covered town of Berry Springs, she's forced to confront the unthinkable: the case is tied to the infamous String Strangler. Her quest for answers leads her to the home of a reclusive former inmate with eyes as cold as ice.

After spending ten years in federal prison, Ryder has one goal in life: to be left alone. But when a stranded motorist shows up on his doorstep, he wants nothing to do with her—or her curves—until she uncovers his secrets and unearths a link to the past that could destroy everything.

Then, a body is discovered on Ryder’s land, and the killer's game becomes terrifyingly personal.

With his freedom on the line, Ryder must risk going back to prison for life— or saving the woman who has become his reason to fight.
