Cold Night

1989 · St. Martin's / Tor

During a punishing New York blizzard, private detective Jack Paine takes a missing-persons case the police wrote off as an ordinary runaway. The trail runs through the city's frozen underbelly into organized crime, political blackmail, and financial corruption. As witnesses start turning up dead and the temperature drops below zero, Paine works the alleys and piers to catch a killer before he becomes the next body on ice.
