The Cold Gray Adios
(2023)(The first book in the Midnight Creek Investigations series)
A novel by Jude Hardin
Nikolina Radko is an ousted Navy SEAL with a thirst for hard liquor and vindication. The senior naval officer who ruined her life is now stationed near the town she grew up in. It’s one of the reasons she doesn’t go home very often. She’s afraid of what she might do to him if their paths ever cross. She’s planning to keep her distance indefinitely—until a family member goes missing.
Stetson Granite is a private investigator with some astonishing secrets. He’s an exact genetic duplicate of a former military policeman named Reacher, and he’s currently under contract with a covert government agency he doesn’t trust. And that’s just the tip of the mind-blowing iceberg. Monitoring the activities of an enemy operative—who is mysteriously monitoring the activities of the former MP—is a lot more challenging when time travel is involved.
Radko and Granite.
They each have their own dark puzzles to solve.
And their own dark promises to keep.
But they’ll soon share a common goal: to stop a rogue physician turned genetic engineer from marketing a product that could adversely and irreversibly alter the course of human history…
SET IN THE REACHER UNIVERSE BY PERMISSION OF LEE CHILD
One of the first female candidates to make it through the grueling training regimen required to become a Navy SEAL, Radko lives on the fringes now, drifting from place to place in a pickup truck, her military career cut short by an underserved bad conduct discharge. She’s totally unsure of what she’s going to do with the rest of her life, or even the rest of her day.
But that’s about to change.
As she’s nursing a hangover at a Nashville diner, she learns that her teenage cousin never made it home last night. Convinced that something terrible has happened and determined to get to the bottom of it, she exits the restaurant and makes a beeline for Florida, eventually hiring Granite, who suddenly has his hands full, to lead the investigation. Balancing his obligations as a clandestine operative with his obligations as a licensed PI, Granite somehow manages to make headway—and stay alive—in a variety of hostile settings and time periods.
Meanwhile, desperate to silence the tortured moans of agony he’s been hearing in his head since the age of ten, a medical doctor with a revoked license is conducting human clinical trials for an insanely ambitious treatment—an absolute gamechanger with the potential to help thousands.
And kill millions.
And with the historic first injection nearly ready to be administered, it’s up to Radko and Granite to stop it from happening.
Genre: Mystery
