'Her eyes were wide with shock and upset. It was not fear ‒ she was not afraid then, and she had not been afraid before ‒ but the life of a man who had been within the reach of her hand had been stolen away in an instant, and it was a body blow'

Sweet After Death
In the dead of winter Homicide Detective Alice Madison is sent to the remote town of Ludlow to investigate an unspeakable crime.
Together with her partner Detective Sergeant Kevin Brown and crime scene investigator Amy Sorensen she must first understand the killer’s motives…but the dark mountains that surround Ludlow know how to keep secrets and that the human heart is wilder than any beast’s.
As the killer strikes again Madison and her team are under siege and cut off from the rest of the county. They race to catch a murderer hiding in plain sight but the truth may be in the hands of a boy who has been a prisoner inside the boundaries of his farm – and within the rules of a dangerous game.
As they all become targets, Madison realizes that in the freezing woods around the pretty town a cunning evil has been waiting for her.
