Publisher's summary

"Kovac had seen more dead bodies than he could count: men, women, children; victims of shootings, stabbings, strangulations, beatings; fresh corpses and bodies that had been left for days in the trunks of cars in the dead of summer. But he had never seen anything quite like this...."

On a frigid New Year’s Eve in Minneapolis, a young woman’s brutalized body falls from the trunk of a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Questions as to whether she was alive or dead when she hit the icy pavement result in her macabre nickname, Zombie Doe. Unidentified and unidentifiable, she is the ninth nameless female victim of the year, and homicide detectives Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska are charged with the task of not only finding out who Zombie Doe is but who in her life hated her enough to destroy her. Was it personal? Or could it just have been a crime of opportunity? Their greatest fear is that not only is she their ninth Jane Doe of the year but that she may be the ninth victim of a vicious, transient serial killer they have come to call Doc Holiday. Crisscrossing America’s heartland, Doc Holiday chooses his victims at random, snatching them in one city and leaving them in another, always on a holiday. If Zombie Doe is one of his victims, he has brought his gruesome game to a new and more terrifying level. But as Kovac and Liska begin to uncover the truth, they will find that the monsters in their ninth girl’s life may have lived closer to home. And even as another young woman disappears, they have to ask the question: Which is the greater evil - the devil you know or the devil you don’t?

kovac and liska rock

A book that keeps you on your toes with twists and turns throughout the whole book. Be prepared to be suspense and a good mystery to solve at the end of the book.

a good ol' fashion "who done it"

This was a good read. kept me involved and guessing around each turn. well written and for the most part easy to follow. Maybe a few to many side bars but it all ties up at the end well.

Great listen

Great listen. Would definitely recommend. I didn't like the performer at first, but he grew on me after listening to the other books in the series. This is one of my favorites from the series.

Could not stop listening

I already knew that she was an incredible author, and I enjoy every book that I have read of hers so far! But this one was so great lots of twist and turns and different points of view just a really great book! The narrator did it justice as well. I would recommend this book and probably will.

Good book, horrible narrator!

When will I learn to pay attention to reviews commenting on narrators. I liked this book, I liked the story, I even liked the characters and will look to see if its a series but if its the same narrator, forget it! Nothing worse than a bad narrator trying to do a teenage girl's voice! Oh well, at least I know I can return it!

So So....

The narrator was alright. Nothing to write home about. The story was good. I think if the narrator could of breathed a little more life into the story I would of enjoyed it much more.

Doc Holiday

Really sorry I read Cold,cold Heart first. This story would have given me a better perspective had I read it first.
