The Bitter Season by Tami Hoag

Set against the chilling backdrop of a Minnesota winter, this gripping thriller weaves together two seemingly unrelated cases: the brutal murder of a college professor and the cold case of a police officer's unsolved death from decades ago. As Detective Nikki Liska and her partner Sam Kovac delve into the investigations, they uncover a web of secrets, lies, and betrayals that link the past to the present. With tension mounting and the clock ticking, the detectives must navigate a labyrinth of clues to bring justice to the victims and confront the bitter truths that lie beneath the surface.
