Dallas Nash is afraid he’s losing his mind. Investigating two murders isn’t going to help.

It’s time that Detective Dallas Nash returns to his Major Crimes assignment after suffering a personal loss. His supervisor assigns him a cold case to ease him back into the job.

The thirty-year-old unsolved murder leads to a startling revelation—Nash and his friends saw the victim right before her death. Before he can work the case, though, dispatch sends him to a wintery crime scene.

A snow-covered body lies in an open field, and Nash has no witnesses or immediate suspects.

Amid freezing temperatures and under an oppressive gray sky, can Dallas Nash locate two killers—one of whom has remained hidden for three decades?

The Long Cold Winter is the second book in the 509 Crime Stories, a series of novels set in Eastern Washington with revolving lead characters. If you like raw emotion and police procedurals, you’ll love this story of a heartbroken detective working his way back from personal tragedy.
