Hard Cold Winter

When an old crony of Van Shaw’s late grandfather calls in a favor, the recently discharged Ranger embarks on a dangerous journey to the Olympic Mountains, in search of a missing girl tied to Van’s own criminal past. What he finds instead is a brutal murder scene, including a victim from one of Seattle’s most influential families.

The murder investigation leads to heavy pressure, with a billionaire businessman on one side and vicious gangsters on the other. Then a fellow Ranger from Afghanistan turns up at Van’s doorstep, seeking support as Van wrestles with his own reemerging symptoms of PTSD. Betrayal by a trusted friend pushes Van to the edge, forcing him to enlist help from some unexpected places—including someone he believed was lost forever.

The Ranger will need every ally he can get. A powerful, unseen player is about to unleash a firestorm on Seattle that will burn Van and his people to ashes—and it will take a miracle to stop it.
