An Evan Hale Thriller
by
Three cold cases. One investigator who doesn't stop. And something underneath the Pacific Northwest that has been watching back the whole time.
Three cold cases. Three cities. Three people who disappeared because they saw something they shouldn't have.
Retired Marine Evan Hale has been handed a stack of unsolved files. Sixteen cases. Most of them are exactly what they look like. But buried in the supplemental reports of three of them is a detail so small that the detectives who each noticed it never thought to compare notes. Nobody had a reason to look at all three at once.
Evan does.
What starts in the back alleys of Ballard pulls him east across the Cascades. Through wheat country and river canyons. Into a freight corridor someone has been protecting for a very long time. Not with lawyers. Not with money.
The cold cases are just the surface. Underneath them is something that has been building for years, hiding in plain sight inside the infrastructure nobody looks at twice.
And it already knows someone is looking.
Cold Cases is the fourth Evan Hale thriller.
