She opened a grave that should have held a man dead for twenty two years, and found it empty.
In this steamy wolf shifter romance, Sheriff Lorna Fiske, forty eight and human, stands in fresh snow at a cairn in the Bitterroot valley, facing a crime scene. The man buried there in 2004 is gone, the stones lifted in their order and the ground worked clean, and the only witness left is the snow itself.
Malachi Beckett, sixty two, a grey wolf exiled for twenty two years for his part in that burial, is one of the few living men who knows what lay under the cairn. He is also named in the thief's price. The demand is cash, and Malachi gone from the valley for good, by Christmas Day.
Lorna works paper, warrants, and interviews. Malachi reads ground no human eye can follow. Between them, a want neither has acted on in years stops being polite, and her own rule stands in its way: she does not touch the central man of her open case.
Can she find what was taken before the thaw takes the snow, the tracks, and the truth with it?
