Beschreibung

Once a successful attorney, Morris Rock’s world changed the day a ruptured brain aneurysm brought his career to a halt. In the quiet aftermath, he discovers the concept of ambiguous loss: the grief that haunts those left behind when someone vanishes without a trace.
 
Still recovering, Rock makes a bold decision: to return to the field, not to argue in court, but to find the missing. Reuniting with his trusted investigator Cleon Odom, Rock takes on the case of Joan Bradley, who has disappeared.
 
For Rock, the case is more than an unsolved mystery: it’s a path back to purpose. While chasing answers for others, he's also in search of something deeply personal: the man he used to be.

    They come in with the snow. They are the snow . . .  
     
     
      
    The blizzard begins pummeling the Midwest on Christmas Eve, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Todd Curry doesn't need another reason to disappoint his son, so he joins three other people in renting the last four-wheel drive available and they set out into the blinding snow. 
     
     
      
    Only two hours into the treacherous trip west, Todd swerves to avoid a man in the middle of the highway. The stranger claims his daughter is lost somewhere out in the snow. Though his odd demeanor and ripped clothes make Todd and his group uneasy, they agree to take the man to the nearest town—if the now-damaged car can make it. 
     
     
      
    What awaits them at the next exit, however, is nothing they could have imagined. Around an empty town square, fires burn, cars are abandoned, storefronts are smashed. And there is no one to be seen—for now . . .  
     
     
      
    But soon the shadows lurking on the edges of their vision will step into the light, and Todd and his fellow travelers will find themselves facing a sharp-scythed evil shaped from the snow, tearing its way into human form—and taking the neighborhood by storm.

    Murder’s afoot! 
    As Mrs. Ginger Reed~also known as Lady Gold~waits impatiently for the coming of her baby, new neighbours move onto Mallowan Court. The Foote family is very much like Ginger’s own, if not the mirror opposite: Mr. and Mrs. Foote an unhappy couple; Mr. Rothwell an aging, irate patriarch; Miss Charlotte, whom Scout finds to be a tantalizing, if confusing specimen of young ladyhood; along with a similar collection of staff. 
    The sudden passing of a Foote family member is determined to be unsuspicious, but something about this strange family doesn’t sit right with Ginger. 
    When the doctor banishes Ginger to her bed to await the coming birth, she has to depend on the information brought to her by her good friend and former sister-in-law, Felicia, the new Lady Davenport-Witt. 
    Can the two ladies solve the crime before the baby comes?

A second bakery is opening in town under the ownership of CJ Davenport, a shrewd investor with a reputation for sabotaging anyone who gets in his way. And savvy, flashy Maddy tops his list.
