Five Card Stud: A Jake Hines Mystery

The body was lying in the snow near the river, almost naked & definitely dead. As the wind creates drifts, sure to obliterate any tracks, & the cold grips Rutherford, Minnesota, Jake Hines looks up at the overpass & wonders.... It's not only the murder that has Jake concerned; his girlfriend, Trudy, the crime scene expert with the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension he would expect here is stuck in a snowdrift, somewhere. The BCA is understaffed, the Rutherford PD is understaffed, & the corpse is being covered by snow. But there's no snow inside the victim's vehicle when they find it, just a blood spatter pattern. That's all Hines needs to begin connecting the dots & creating a picture of a crime as cold as a Minnesota winter's night.Gunn, Elizabeth is the author of 'Five Card Stud: A Jake Hines Mystery' with ISBN 9780802733436 and ISBN 0802733433.
