Cold Winds in Autumn

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Thomas is no stranger to murder and mayhem, having seen the worst of the worst at crime scenes. Even so, his newest case is different. The son of a millionaire investment banker goes missing-and then, two days after his disappearance, a video arrives on the desks of local media that shows the young man's murder in a highly violent, ritualistic fashion. Thomas thinks the killing may be personal and soon discovers there is no shortage of family members with sound motives for wanting the man dead. Soon, however, another video arrives depicting an apparently unconnected murder by the same chilling method. This is no personal vendetta. Instead, Thomas must go head-to-head with a deranged, merciless killer. In this the fourth novel in the Thomas and Grey detective series, Thomas and Detective Inspector Sheila Grey race against time as they seek to stop a murderer before more lives are lost.
