Book eight in the Claire Watkins mystery series finds car mogul Daniel Walker celebrating New Year's Eve alone, roasting in his sauna. At midnight he runs outside for a quick roll in the snow . . . and the next morning he's found dead—naked, frozen, and covered in snow.

While solving this midwinter crime, Claire realizes how tenuous love is, and how frozen she's been since the death of her first husband.
