Getting in his car was a mistake. But as the frigid air whipped through her thin coat, she felt too cold to say no. Now, snowflakes settle on her long dark lashes. Ice-cold and forever fifteen years old, she'll never see her mother's smile again...
As the biggest snowstorm the Outer Banks has seen in decades ravages the coastline, Detective Casey White is called to an abandoned junk yard miles beyond the marshes. Teenager Jill Carter's body is posed on her back, a look of terror frozen on her beautiful face. Casey's heart breaks for Jill's family. She vows she'll do whatever it takes to find the merciless killer who left this girl out in the cold all alone.
But the unforgiving blanket of snow will soon claim the crime scene, and the team are up against the clock to catalogue any vital evidence... then Casey notices strange objects arranged in patterns around the girl's body. Among them is a selection of perfectly preserved autumn leaves that has no place in the salvage yard in the dead of winter.
When the new District Attorney goes above Casey's head to charge Jill's high school sweetheart with the crime, Casey is certain she's making a mistake. The poor boy is terrified and heartbroken, but he isn't a murderer. Casey must rush to make sense of the sparse, ritualistic evidence they have, before another life is ruined.
As the snow continues to fall, another young girl is found frozen forever, the same strange items displayed around her body in a deliberate ritual. And Casey knows now this is only the beginning... Can Casey hunt down a killer determined to add another teenage girl to his collection, before it is too late?
