Blind River

More about the book

The thing was sitting on the hallway carpet, right in front of the door to our room. I pulled the napkin off. Underneath was a hat, upside down, filled with ice and snow. "What the hell," I said, bending down to pick it up. "That's the hat he was wearing, right? The old man downstairs?" "It is," I said. "But why?" "Wait a minute," she said. "Is there something else inside there?" She was right. I reached into the frozen mess and pulled out a piece of paper with five words written on it: "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" Alex McKnight is in love. He met Natalie Reynaud, an officer from the Ontario Provincial Police, under difficult circumstances. They share a bond of solitude and the haunting memory of burying their partners. This is Alex's first real relationship in years, which terrifies him. Natalie has her own fears and secrets. They brave a violent snowstorm to spend the night in a historic hotel in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, where they encounter a mysterious old man who knows much about Natalie and her family. However, he is found frozen to death the next morning, reigniting an old blood feud linked to her family's past—one that still drives men to kill. Despite Natalie's wishes to keep Alex out of danger, he can't let her face it alone. After all, he has endured beatings, gunfire, and even being dragged behind a snowmobile for friends in need. How much farther will he go for love?
