Product Description
Lieutenant Jonathan Stride knows his partner Maggie Bei is in trouble when she reports a deadly crime on a bitter winter night. She’s obviously hiding a terrible secret. And her silence only feeds suspicion. But Maggie isn’t the only one keeping secrets. A seductive young woman has disappeared, leaving behind a stash of lurid fantasies and a cryptic message. I know who it is. Now it’s up to Stride and his lover, homicide cop turned private investigator Serena Dial, to uncover a sordid web of violence and voyeurism that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. Meanwhile, a predator with a vicious past is hunting them both—with a terrifying plan for revenge on the frozen lakes of Duluth...

Another good one in the Stride series by Freeman. In this one, Stride has returned to Duluth, Minnesota, after his stint in Vegas as told in the prior book in the series, Stripped. He has his old job back on the force as police lieutenant and his girl friend, Serena, has joined him in Duluth working as a PI. The novel starts out when his partner, Maggie, finds her husband shot dead on a cold winter night and she is accused of his murder. But did she do it? The answers to this one come together after many twists and turns involving rape, murder, and a sex club in the city.

This was as usual a very intense thriller from Freeman. Very good character development throughout including Stride's fellow officers in the force and some very vile bad guys. And the ending contained a very surprising twist that I was not expecting. I have a couple more books in this series that I intend to read soon. Next up is In the Dark.
