In the frozen wilds of North Dakota, a killer leaves his victims encased in ice. And the only one who can stop him is the agent who swore she'd never come home.
FBI Special Agent Kelsey Hawk, 30, is tough, brilliant—and dangerously close to the edge. A rising star in the bureau, she’s known for breaking rules and closing cases. But after pushing one too many boundaries, she’s exiled to a field office in the last place she ever wanted to return to: her hometown in North Dakota.
It’s a land as bleak and unforgiving as her past—where her entire family was murdered when she was just a child.
Now, Kelsey is thrown into the heart of a chilling new case. Bodies are being found frozen in ice, each one more gruesome than the last. And as the killer plays a deadly game of cat and mouse, Kelsey must confront the ghosts she buried long ago… before she becomes the next victim.
DEAD INSIDE is the heart-pounding first book in the Kelsey Hawk FBI Suspense Thriller series by #1 bestselling author Kate Bold—a gripping, emotionally charged crime thriller perfect for fans of Rachel Caine, Teresa Driscoll, and Robert Dugoni.
