But the good life turns out to be more fleeting than the detective's caffeine withdrawals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJasmine, or Jazz, to her friends, gets a rude awakening when a 3-year-old cold case comes back hot. New York City's \"Carnation Killer,\" a serial rapist and murderer, leaves his fifth calling card on a woman named Emilia Smith. The calling card? A heart-shaped carving into the woman's chest and a single white carnation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the creep spectrum, Jazz puts this killer somewhere between Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer. And her veteran right-hand man is on medical leave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe's joined instead by temporary partner Detective Sydney Locke, a welcome new character. Sydney's pretty green but has a fiery determination and talent for the beat that Jazz recognizes within minutes. Soon enough, they've got a mentor\/prot?g? thing going - which certainly comes in handy at their often patriarchal workplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd it turns out Jazz and Syd will need that and more when the military gets involved with the investigation- because the victim is none other than the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the brass knows more than they're saying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat the team do know is that Emilia's last night alive was spent at a college bar that sparks Jasmine' least happy memory -the very same establishment that served as a backdrop to her own early adult years, a past defiled and traumatized by a dangerous man. Just as Jazz is finally ready to be happy, her bone-chilling trauma comes rushing back. And the Carnation Killer is still out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberly Amato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0999043374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999043370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Crown Media, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Kimberly Amato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250684645631,"sku":"9780999043370","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b5ceeca-061c-418f-ae1b-71540c4d703f.jpg?v=1729601086","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cold-steele-kimberly-amato-9780999043370","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
