"Called out by Scotland Yard into the teeth of a violent
blizzard, Inspector Ian Rutledge finds himself confronted
with one of the most savage murders he has ever
encountered. Rutledge might have expected such unspeakable
carnage on the World War I battlefields, where he'd lost
much of his soul - and his sanity - but not in an
otherwise peaceful farm kitchen in remote
Urskdale." "Someone has murdered the Elcott family at
their table without the least sign of struggle. Was the
killer someone the young family knew and trusted? When the
victims are tallied the local police are in for another
shock: One of the Elcott's children, a boy named Josh, is
missing." "Now the Inspector must race to uncover a
murderer and to save a child before he's silenced by the
merciless elements - or the even colder hands of a killer.
Haunted and goaded by the soldier-ghost of his own
tortured war past, Rutledge will discover the tragedy of
war that splintered one marriage - and pulled together
another." Love, jealousy, greed, revenge - or was it some
twisted combination of all of them? Any one could lead a
man or woman to murder. What had the Elcotts done to
ignite their killer's rage? With time running out,
Rutledge knows all too well that such a cold-blooded
murderer could be hiding somewhere in the blinding
snow...preparing to strike again.
