“Vivid descriptions, a complex and thoroughly human detective, and rapidly escalating suspense make Cold to the Touch a first-class thriller.”
“Cold to the Touch zings with the elements of the procedural detective story mixed with the unexpected complexities of family relationships. Hard hitting and plotted with high craft, Hakoda’s novel is a joy to read…”
“Detective DeHavilland Beans, Kerri Hakoda’s bi-racial sleuth, the hero of Cold to the Touch, joins the ranks of intrepid crime-fighters – Holmes and Poirot, Marple and Marlow, Spade and Warshawski … a good, fast police procedural, from an author who has a tight grip on her own prose.”
“[An] excellent, fast-paced police procedural … For fans of Harlan Coben or Lissa Marie Redmond.”
“[An] immersive debut . . . A memorable leading man . . . [And] a diverse, fascinating landscape readers will want to get lost in.”
The predator-ravaged body of a scantily clad barista appears on the once-pristine Alaskan snow, and Anchorage Homicide Detective DeHavilland Beans is called upon to investigate. He is devastated to recognize the frozen corpse of the young half-Native Alaskan college student who served him coffee every morning. Beans, half-Japanese and half-Athabascan/Irish himself, is determined to solve her murder – but can he do it before the killer strikes again?
