  From multimillion-copy best-selling author Willow Rose comes the next chapter in the best-selling Emma Frost mystery series. Emma Frost is tied up in a murder mystery that seems out of this world. When a young girl disappears one night from the park, then turns up again the next morning in a different place on the island, people start to talk about her. Was she drunk and just unable to remember what happened? Did she go home with a guy and won't admit it? What happened to her, and why is she insisting that she doesn't know? Emma Frost is fighting for Victor's best friend, Skye. Emma is trying to get her back from the people who took her in the night, but having no luck, when a guy falls into her arms in the street and dies a few minutes later. The autopsy shows he has frozen to death, but it doesn't seem possible. When a young boy from Victor's school turns up frozen, as well, and things start to get cold around her own house, Emma begins to fear for her loved ones' lives. Once again, Willow Rose has written a story so compelling that it leaves the listener in almost unbearable suspense until the surprise ending is revealed.
