A Cold Dark Place
(2023)(The fourth book in the Cassie Viera FBI series)
A novel by Richard Bannister
“Do as I say, and I’ll let you live. Disobey me, and you’ll die. It’s that simple,” he grunts, brandishing a polished chrome pistol inches from the tip of her nose.
The brutal killing of Special Agent Santoyo in a secluded mountain town thrusts Cassie Viera and her FBI team into a daunting mission—unraveling the mysterious circumstances of the agent’s death. Coyote Ridge is renowned for its tight-knit community and crisp mountain air. Outsiders are not welcomed—especially federal agents.
Cassie and her team dig into the agent’s activities in the days before he was gunned down and discover he strayed from his assigned mission. Their fallen colleague was asking questions about the kidnapping and murders that went down locally in recent years.
Cassie thinks the evidence used in the original investigations doesn’t add up, and the true killer may still be at large. But the local establishment doesn’t want to hear her theories. Nor would the FBI hierarchy be happy if they knew she was getting involved in local politics. Cassie’s boss demands she focus on tracking down the agent’s killer.
But the team can’t turn a blind eye to the latest missing woman—taken while out jogging less than two weeks ago. If the deranged kidnapper sticks to his usual timetable, she will be dead in a matter of days.
Then another young woman vanishes.
Cassie and her team suspect dark secrets link the agent’s death to the kidnappings and murders. With the FBI brass and the District Attorney breathing down her neck, she joins the search for the missing women, hoping it will also lead her to the agent’s killer.
If she’s wrong, her career could be over.
THIS ADDICTIVE CRIME THRILLER WILL HAVE YOUR HEART RACING AS YOU FLY THROUGH THE PAGES AND UNRAVEL THE WEB OF SECRETS AND LIES.
Perfect for fans of Roger Stelljes, Lisa Reagan, and Gregg Olsen.
