Carla Neggers

With snow-capped mountains and biting cold, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Carla Neggers’ neck of the woods. As a Vermonter, New York Times bestselling author draws on her childhood experiences in the rugged mountains of her home state to bring to life the chilling Black Falls series.

Following the release of last year’s COLD PURSUIT, the second book in the series, COLD RIVER (MIRA paperback, December 2009), is classic Carla Neggers—atmospheric, edge-of-your seat suspense with a romance enhanced by the threat of danger.

The grand prizewinner in Carla’s contest will be gifted with a Triple Treat from Vermont confectionary Mother Myrick’s: their famous Buttercrunch, mouth-watering Hot Fudge Sauce and their award-winning Stollen bread. But the best gift of all for this contest winner will be the story between the covers of COLD RIVER. In the spirit of the season, Carla will include a copy of her December novel in this special holiday prize package.

Hannah Shay has finally shown the town of Black Falls what she's worth. Her Three Sisters Café is a success, and she's soon to become a prosecutor. When the café becomes an epicenter for investigators trying to pierce a violent crime ring that's leaving bloody trails on nearby Cameron Mountain, Hannah suspects a man from her past is involved.

Sean Cameron returns to the snowy cold of his Vermont hometown to unmask his father's killer. Sean has the skills and resources to mount his own search, but he must convince the resistant Hannah to cooperate—because the killer is ready to strike again . . . and closer than anyone ever imagined.

The twists and turns awaiting them will take them closer to the explosive truth . . . and into the sights of a killer.
