Cold Theory (Ellie Kline Mystery Series)

By Mary Stone

Dig up the past, and you might end up buried with it. Charleston Police Detective Ellie Kline prefers to work alone, especially after her last partner killed a suspect just as he was about to reveal details of a sprawling human trafficking conspiracy infiltrating the city's elite. When Ellie is called to a new crime scene--featuring the corpse of a senator's bodyguard--she plans to handle it alone. Unfortunately, her new boss has other ideas. Once again saddled with the detective who derailed her previous case, Ellie investigates the murder of the ex-cop turned bodyguard, found shot at point-blank range with a chilling note pinned to his shirt: Just the beginning. Tell Senator Stevens to watch his back. Is the senator truly the target, or is it a coverup for something far more sinister? When another former cop from the same precinct dies under strange circumstances, the coincidences become impossible to ignore. Especially amidst rumors of bribes and corruption within the department that her partner refuses to take seriously. Three things become starkly clear. Ellie can't trust anyone. The victims harbored secrets worth killing for. And the killer will strike again unless she can stop him first. The body count keeps rising in Cold Theory , the fourteenth book of Mary Stone's bestselling Ellie Kline series. Because when you dig up the past, the skeletons might want you dead.
