Bone Cold

"Bone Cold is a great read in the Sarah Armstong series especially for a fifth book. Some series seem to lag after the first couple of books, but not this one! Main characters you like and an interesting story line that keeps you engaged the whole book. Kathryn Casey has done it again." - 5-star Goodreads review

A plumber cuts into a wall at an old house searching for the source of a leak. Instead, he uncovers a gruesome sight-a woman's mummified body tied onto a chair. How long has she been there? Months? Years? Decades? Who is she? Will Texas Ranger Sarah Armstrong be able to interpret the strange symbols surrounding the body to find the woman's killer? Is this baffling case tied to one out of Sarah's past, unfinished business that still haunts her nightmares?

Meanwhile, Sarah's life is in turmoil. On her way home from dinner with a friend, a dispatch prompts Sarah to take a detour. Hoping to help two officers serve a warrant, she arrives at a chaotic scene. Sarah advises them to stand down and wait for help, but a trigger-happy cop shoots, and it all goes bad. An innocent man is killed, leading to a courtroom confrontation that puts Sarah's actions under a microscope and her face in the headlines, endangering her family and her life.

The two cases intertwine and take Sarah on a terrifying journey, leading her to reevaluate her life, her choices, and her future.
