Items related to A Cold Christmas
Brodie Farrell finds things for a living, and when she's asked to locate the whereabouts of Daniel Hood, she sees nothing suspicious in the request. She finds the young man, passes the details on to her client, and commends herself on a job well done. But when the young man is found brutally tortured and left for dead, Brodie is overcome with guilt.
Still blaming herself when Daniel asks for help, Brodie finds it impossible to do the sensible thing and walk away. He needs to understand what happened: Until the attack, he'd never known an enemy in the world. The men who hurt him were looking for someone named Sophie, and Daniel knows no one by that name.
Finding the authors of Daniel's misfortune, in the end, resolves nothing. It only leads them both into a deeper, more complex tragedy than either imagined possible...

About the Author:
Charlene Weir lives in El Cerrito, California. Her first novel, The Winter's Widow, won the SMP/ Malice Domestic Contest for Best First Traditional Mystery in 1991.
From Booklist:
Although Hampstead, Kansas, may be similar in size to fictional Mayberry, Police Chief Susan Wren has a lot more on her plate than Andy Griffith ever did. As Christmas approaches, half of the town's police force is out with the flu, and a series of burglaries is confounding those still standing. Meanwhile, Wren is nervous about her long-overdue trip home to San Francisco, where her cantankerous parents await, along with her old boss, determined to hire her back. The last thing Wren needs is a murder, but tell that to whoever killed furnace repairman Tim Holiday, whose grotesque corpse, hands and face burned off in the furnace, is discovered in the basement of church organist Caley James' house. A murder is also the last thing needed by flu-weakened James, who is struggling to avoid her cheating ex-husband and support her young children. In addition to the highly sympathetic Wren, Weir fashions fascinating portraits of James and her oldest son, Zach. A cliff-hanger ending will have fans anxiously awaiting the next installment of this endearing cozy. Jenny McLarin
