Cold Fury

By AR Simmons

This ninth novel by AR Simmons sees things get personal for Deputy Richard Carter. Cold Fury is a contemporary crime mystery involving drugs and other kinds of craziness, something the hills have in abundance.
Death by exposure. A frozen man found nude in an Ozark vacation cabin? It seems that the only crime here is that of abandoning a corpse.
Ron Guidry gets "the cold case" when Richard Carter is given a politically sensitive assignment. Guidry chafes at the restraints placed on his investigation, argues with the boss, and takes vacation time. When he fails to return, Richard follows his "cold trail" and runs smack into a DEA narc who knows more than he is saying.
A second "popsicle" turns up in Blue Creek, confirming that the exposure death was a homicide.
Is Richard Carter being helped by the DEA agent? Managed? Or played?
