Cold Intentions
The best-laid plans. The deadliest intentions.
Charleston Detective Ellie Kline should be enjoying her vacation, but instead, she becomes involved in a sinister game of cat and mouse. Suspended from duty and at odds with her FBI boyfriend, a retreat to the sleepy town of Goose Creek, South Carolina, seems like the perfect opportunity to relax with family and heal their relationship.
She should have known better.
Everything changes when Ellie's peaceful morning jog turns into a nightmare when she runs—quite literally—into a gruesome murder scene. Realizing the local sheriff is ill-equipped to handle the case, Ellie knows she and Clay must step in to uncover the truth behind the murder.
When another body is found, it’s clear someone has a vendetta against the women of Goose Creek. In a small town, secrets seldom remain hidden, which makes people with something to hide even more dangerous. Until Ellie and Clay ferret out the murderer, anyone might be next.
Someone has a grudge to settle in Cold Intentions, the twelfth book of Mary Stone’s best-selling Ellie Kline Series. Tread carefully, or your past can come back to haunt you
