Ice Run Steve Hamilton

Publisher Marketing: Alex McKnight is in love. Even though he met Natalie Reynaud, an officer from the Ontario Provincial Police, under difficult circumstances, they share a common bond of solitude, as well as the same nightmare - they re both cops who buried their partners. It s Alex s first real relationship in years, which in some ways is terrifying. But Natalie has her own fears to deal with - and her own secrets. They brave a violent snowstorm to spend the night together in a historic hotel in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. There, they meet a mysterious old man who seems to know a lot about Natalie - and about her family. But they won t be getting any answers from him - he ll be found frozen to death in a snowbank the very next morning. From this single incident, an old blood feud will be reignited, one going back decades to an event buried in her family s past - an event that even now can still drive men to kill each other. As much as Natalie doesn t want Alex to become entangled in this web of lies and hatred, there s no way he can let her face this danger alone. This is a man who has gotten beaten up, shot at, and even dragged behind a snowmobile, all because he s a sucker for a friend in need. How much further will he go for love?"
