Even though Alex McKnight swore to serve and protect Detroit as a police officer, a trip to Motown these days is a trip to a past he’d just as soon forget. The city will forever remind him of his partner’s death and of the bullet still lodged in his own chest. So he’s more than happy to stay in the little town of Paradise, 300 miles and half a lifetime away. Then he gets a call from his old sergeant. It turns out that a young man Alex helped put away will be getting out of prison. That one big case marked the highlight of his career, before his partner was killed, before his marriage fell apart, before he left Detroit, forever. Now that man is about to walk free.

As always, Reacher has no particular place to go and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee. But there’s nothing pleasant about the place. In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one”...so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution. The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information...and secrets.

Publisher's Summary
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.

A cold day in paradise
T he storyline kept me wondering about how it would end all the way through the book. The characters were interesting and the dialog between them was realistic. I got the Audible book late yesterday and couldn't stop until I finished it today.I can. Hardly wait to start his next book tonight.

Really great mystery!
I enjoyed the characters in the story and how they played off of each other. I sincerely liked that I didn't see the end coming. That definitely makes a great mystery for me!

High hopes for a new Author
After I finished the Harry Bosch, Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and Jack Ryan series of books, I looked for a new author to get behind. The reviews were good on this book, but the story fell short of the action packed, plot twisting writing styles I had grown used to. Don't get me wrong, the book is not bad, it just wasn't what I was used to.
