Summer Heat Cold Blood

Danger can hide in the most unexpected places. After being injured breaking up an Auckland gang fight, Senior Constable Mitch Cramer temporarily transfers to New Zealand's subtropical north, hoping for a quieter pace. But just days before the holiday season, things are far from quiet. Thefts from local farms have rattled a once-trusting community. And Neve Jacobsen, a cafe owner still reeling from her husband's sudden death, is receiving anonymous messages. Someone is watching her. As Mitch digs deeper, he's drawn into more than just a case. It's clear Neve is being targeted, and the threat is more personal, and more dangerous, than either of them suspect.
