The Book of Cold Cases

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

An impossible cold case and a terrifying haunted mansion, in the New York Times bestselling chiller from Simone St. James.

In 1977, in the small town of Claire Lake, two men were murdered with the same gun. Beth Greer was the prime suspect—a rich, eccentric 23-year-old woman, seen fleeing one of the crimes. Ever since her surprise acquittal, she's retreated to her mansion and never commented publicly on the case.

Forty years later, Shea Collins is a receptionist by day, and a true crime blogger by night. When she meets Beth by chance, Shea asks her for an interview. To her surprise, Beth says yes.

But when they meet in Beth's mansion, Shea immediately senses something isn't right. Things start happening she can't explain. And she could swear she keeps seeing a figure lurking outside the window...

The Book of Cold Cases promises chills and intrigue, blending the thrill of a cold case with the eerie atmosphere of a haunted mansion.
