Publisher Description
A woman’s dangerous career comes to a chilling end in this spellbinding thriller by Viveca Sten, bestselling author of In the Heat of the Moment…
The body of world-famous journalist Jeanette Thiels is discovered the day after Christmas, frozen in a snow-covered garden just steps from her hotel on Sandhamn Island. Detective Thomas Andreasson finds it highly unlikely that it was some bizarre accident. After all, the relentless war-zone correspondent was no stranger to conflict and controversy—both professional and, of late, very personal. Who would want to see her dead is another story.
Enlisting the help of attorney Nora Linde, his longtime friend on holiday, Thomas is anxious for the answers. But he and Nora don’t have to look far. The clues are leading them closer to home than they imagined. Jeanette may have made a career out of exposing corruption at the highest levels of world power, but she was also a woman with secrets of her own, and they’re coming to light on Sandhamn. For Thomas and Nora, unearthing the deeply rooted deceptions behind Jeanette’s death could now put those closest to her in harm’s way, too.

"This is my second book for adults by Pearson. I've read his books for young people and did enjoy those! I even caught the veiled reference to them in this book, but adult readers not aware of that series would have passed over the comment without realization. I also enjoyed the way he brought in two characters from the only other of his adult books that I have read. He provided an interesting glimse into life far different from what the majority of us experience."

" This is an adult book by the same author who does the Disney Kingdom Keeper series. It took me some time to get into the book. I didn't give up on it though, and the action started to pick up after the first several chapters. The action between the characters was somewhat confusing which is why I let it sit for a while. It turns out that the main character, the sheriff, has been featured in previous books. Thus some of the confusion. The action begins with a swift water rescue, a house seemingly gets broken into by a bear, a dead body turns up, and not everyone is quite what they seem. "

" Pearson writes so well it's frightening. As a treat for his fans he's brought two of his serial characters together to piece together a number of interlocking puzzles. Top-notch thriller with a slight political statement thrown in for good measure. "

" Too many suspects and then the killer comes on stage in the last five pages. "
— Rosemary, 1/13/2014 -
" A good crime story with some great characters and a perfect setting... "
— Brandon, 12/23/2013 -
" This is the second in the Walt Fleming series that I have read - and I won this one in a giveaway. This plot line focuses on the developing relationship between Sheriff Walt Fleming and photographer Fiona Kenshaw and a homicide with connections to her mysterious past. Pearson has done a nice job developing the Fleming character, flaws and all. The book is fast-paced, a quick read - good choice for a day or so at the beach. The setting is Sun Valley (other books in the series have touched more on the divide between the very wealthy visitors and the full time residents) which now occupies a place on my "To Visit Someday" list. "

" Fun, took his characters from Seattle and brought them out to Idaho as minor players. Nice twist and turns to the plot. "
— Lisa, 10/26/2013 -
" I loved this book. I would highly recommend you read these books in order. It makes it easier to understand the characters!! "
— Terri, 10/2/2013 -
" Another in the "Glitter Glutch" series featuring Sheriff Walt Fleming. An enjoyable enough light read, but one of those books where people are keeping secrets that they really don't need to keep and it is landing them in trouble. "
— Richard, 6/8/2013 -
" The mystery and story in this book are really good. As a reader I was kept on my toes as to who may have done what. There were times when I felt a chunk of the story was missing, though. It was also difficult to follow the dialogue between characters at times. "
— Dawn, 6/5/2013 -
" This was an interesting "whodunit." It would have been better as beach reading. "
— Hope, 4/8/2013 -
" Very good Walt Fleming book by Pearson. Walt must solve two murders while romancing his new love, Fiona. Lou Boldt & Daphne Matthews make guest appearances to good effect. Recommended to Pearson & mystery fans! "

" Great summer read, fast-paced, exciting and satisfying. "
— Thomas, 1/12/2013 -
" I haven't read any of the others in the series, but I thought the book was a great mystery novel. It takes place in a Vail-like town in Idaho and the "detective" to this story is the small-town sheriff. It was a great whodunit. "
— Ben, 11/8/2012 -
" A good mystery - keeps one guessing. I hadn't read this author before but enjoyed the intrigue along the way so will have to find another book in a few months. Even though I felt I had the crime figured out, another clue would throw the whole thing off. Good to the end! "

" I enjoy sitting down with a Pearson thriller. "
— Beth, 7/12/2012 -
" I like the Walt Fleming novels. More than adequate police procedural, interwoven with characters having their own stories, and set in the Sun Valley, Idaho vicinity. "
— Harry, 6/27/2012 -
" It was ok ... but definately a "guys read". Lots of sports jargon thrown into this "who done it" type of novel. "
— Brenda, 6/8/2012 -
" A little slow ... "

" Dan & I listen to this book on the way back from Hilton Head. It is has a lot of twists and turns and was very injoyable. "

" I really liked the characters and their development in this book. It was a good story even if I had to skip 3 pages twice. "
— Ann, 6/14/2011 -
" Always like reading this author, and this time he put two of his characters into the same book. Walt Fleming (Sun Valley sheriff) is the main character, but Lou Boldt (Seattle detective) shows up for an appearance, and only brings more to the story. "
— Barbara, 5/26/2011 -
" I forced myself to finish this book. Usually I enjoy this author's books but this story and characters just weren't interesting. "

" 3 1/2 stars, enjoyable, suspenseful plot with some twists, lovable noble main character sheriff who loves his kids and talented dog, would read another "
— Barb, 3/12/2011 -
" I normally like Pearson's books. This one seems phoned in though. "
— Cynthia, 1/23/2011 -
" Pretty good story. Nice plot twists. Occasionally the author is much too wordy - as if extra paragraphs has to be added to reach a certain page count. "

" Sheriff Walt Fleming of Sun Valley, Idaho #4; Walt has a partner ship with Lou Boldt from Seattle; He and Fieona struggle to understand each other; Walt and hunter dog, Bea, do some essential tracking; overall an interesting read; keeps your interest in main characters. "
