Praise for Cold to the Touch: “[An] excellent, fast-paced police procedural . . . For fans of Harlan Coben or Lissa Marie Redmond.” —Library Journal, starred review “[An] immersive debut . . . A memorable leading man . . . [And] a diverse, fascinating landscape readers will want to get lost in.” —Publishers Weekly “An excellent debut novel—a very well written police procedural with some dark and chilling undertones in the atmospheric Alaskan winter.” —Mystery & Suspense Magazine “A fast-paced, riveting story . . . Fans of police procedurals will want to pick up this one.” —Lesa's Book Critiques “Vivid descriptions, a complex and thoroughly human detective, and rapidly escalating suspense make Cold to the Touch a first-class thriller.” —Pamela Beason, author of the Sam Westin Wilderness Mysteries “With one diabolical murder after another, this startling depiction of Anchorage, Alaska’s highly diverse world of cops and bad guys keeps a reader waiting for the next shoe, or more to the point, the next body to drop.” —Richard Chiappone, author of The Hunger of Crows “Young women murdered. Bodies buried in the Alaska winter snow where animals eat their entrails. Who is the savage human beast doing this? And why? From the crime scene to the suspect interviews to Beans, a multi-racial detective with a lot on his mind, Cold to the Touch zings with the elements of the procedural detective story mixed with the unexpected complexities of family relationships. Hard hitting and plotted with high craft, Hakoda’s novel is a joy to read . . . and a fast one, too.” —Jack Remick, author of Blood and Man Alone; co-author of The Weekend Novelist Writes a Mystery “Murder in the snow just outside Anchorage, Alaska. A frantic call to the cops—but the crime is nastier when the cop knows the victim—all that responsibility—all that remorse crashing down onto the shoulders of Detective DeHavilland Beans, Kerri Hakoda’s bi-racial sleuth, the hero of Cold to the Touch, who joins the ranks of intrepid crime-fighters—Holmes and Poirot, Marple and Marlowe, Spade and Warshawski—for a good fast police procedural, from an author who has a tight grip on her own prose.” —Robert J. Ray, author of the Matt Murdock mystery series and The Weekend Novelist
