The Man Burned by Winter

Rooker Lindström Thriller, Book 1

By: Pete Zacharias

Narrated by: A. T. Chandler

An investigative journalist on the edge. A serial killer testing his limits. What they have in common can freeze the blood.

Still reeling from a personal tragedy, investigative journalist Rooker Lindström finds a grim hideaway from the world. It’s the dilapidated cabin on Minnesota’s Deer Lake bequeathed to him by his late father—one of the most notorious serial killers in the state. If the walls of this murder house could talk, they’d scream.

Detective Tess Harlow needs something from Rooker only he can provide: a window into the mind of a murderer. A copycat is on the prowl, following in the footsteps of Rooker’s father. After reluctantly agreeing to take on the role of consultant, Rooker makes a chilling discovery. Every victim—five and counting—is a depraved taunt meant only for him. Rooker is not just tracking a killer playing sick games. In this brutal Minnesota winter, Rooker is confronting his past.

Maybe working with Tess is Rooker’s last chance at redemption. But to outrun his father’s legacy, he must follow a darker path still to come.

Critic reviews

“An author to watch.”—Kirkus Reviews

Very good story

I couldn't wait to pick this book up again! I hope there will be a sequel.

Fast Pace Edge of Your Seat Action!!!

Fast Pace, Action Packed, Relatable Charaters and lots of Surprises. Outstanding Narration by A.T. Chandler.

Best book I’ve bought on audible

This book was perfect for those who like murder and mystery. Captivating from start to finish. Can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out!

Loved it!!

Couldn’t put this down! If you’re looking for your next serial killer thriller, look no further!

Not The Poet

Too wordy, nothing new, slow, I didn't like it . Not Michel Connolly. I loved the poet, and every book after it. Disappointing, thought maybe a new author perhaps a good book finally.
