About Cooler Than Blood: 18-year-old
Jenny Spencer is missing after a violent nighttime encounter on a
Florida beach. Jenny’s aunt, Susan Blake, asks wisecracking PI Jake
Travis to investigate.
Susan
and Jake had only spent one dinner together, but both felt an instant,
overpowering attraction. Jake walked away. After all, he was—and
is—committed to Kathleen. But having Susan in his life again could be
dangerous: dangerous in more ways than one.
As
Jake and his partner, Garrett Demarcus, close in on finding Jenny, they
uncover a shocking secret in Kathleen’s past. Even more shocking is
that Kathleen and Jenny’s life are strangely intertwined.
For
Jake, this case may hit way too close to home—and what started as a
race to find Jenny could become a fight to protect Kathleen.
As
the case heats up and the danger escalates, Jake is forced to examine
his moral boundaries. How far is he willing to go for the woman he
loves? At what cost? And what about that question that has dogged him
since the beginning of the case: was there another person on the beach
that night?
Tough, tense, and uncompromising, Cooler Than Blood is
a sharp, suspenseful tale that spins from page one. Novelist Robert
lane delivers a masterful mystery brimming with compelling characters, a
sensational storyline and an action-charged plot. A high octane tale
resplendent with thrills and chills, Cooler Than Blood brings the heat.
