Other than the bullet lodged less than a centimeter from
his heart, former Detroit police officer Alex McKnight
thought he had put the nightmare of his partner's death
and his own near-fatal injury behind him. After all,
Maximilian Rose, convicted of the crimes, has been locked
in the state pen for years, But in the small town of
Paradise, Michigan, where McKnight has traded his badge
for a cozy cabin in the woods, a murderer with Rose's
unmistakable trademarks appears to be back to his killing
ways. With Rose locked away, McKnight can't understand who
else would know the intimate details of the old murders--
not to mention the signature blood-red rose left on his
doorstep. And it seems like it'll be a frozen day in Hell
before McKnight can unravel the cold truth from a deadly
deception in a town that's anything but Paradise.
