This one already had hers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dr. Nora Vale is the best forensic genetic genealogist alive. Police hand her the cases no one can close\u003cbr\u003e - the unidentified, the drawer-cold, the John Does nobody came looking for. From a few strands of DNA\u003cbr\u003e she rebuilds a family tree, node by node, until a body stops being evidence and becomes somebody's son. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A man comes out of a condemned cold-storage warehouse on the frozen lakefront. Hard-frozen. Deliberately\u003cbr\u003e preserved. No name, no history, no one reporting him gone. Just another Doe. Nora runs the sample the\u003cbr\u003e way she always does. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The tree returns a match she can't explain. A half-sibling - close, certain, seventeen hundred\u003cbr\u003e centimorgans of shared blood. Half-siblings share one parent. And the records-linkage puts a name on the\u003cbr\u003e screen beside an obituary thirty-two years old. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Her father. The man who drowned when she was eight. The body they never recovered. The empty grave she\u003cbr\u003e grew up beside - the grave that made her the woman who names the dead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The stranger in the freezer is her brother. Which means the death she has believed her whole life\u003cbr\u003e doesn't add up - and someone made sure that body stayed frozen exactly long enough. The tool Nora trusts\u003cbr\u003e most just handed her a truth that people with everything to lose have spent decades keeping buried. She\u003cbr\u003e can log the Doe as unknown and walk away breathing. Or she can pull the thread and detonate her own\u003cbr\u003e family, her own science, and her own name. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She gives the dead their names for a living. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This time, the name is hers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cold Storage launches the Nora Vale series - a relentless, ice-cold crime thriller for readers who like\u003cbr\u003e their conspiracies grounded and their science exact.
