Van Shaw is hired to evaluate the safeguards for the art collection of eccentric business magnate Sebastien Rohner. Then Rohner reveals to Van the real reason he's been recruited: to prevent another professional burglar from stealing the art. Rohner wants to set a thief to catch a thief.While questioning the bizarre nature of the job, Van accepts the lucrative offer and arrives at the island estate during an international summit that Rohner is hosting. Shortly after beginning his surveillance of Rohner's highly secure gallery wing, Van stumbles across the murdered body of one of the honored guests along the rocky shore. Wary of Rohner's true intentions, Van knows the homicide detectives on the case—and perhaps Rohner as well—think he's the prime suspect and will turn his life upside down in their search for proof.Van begins to hunt for the killer himself, but scrutiny only digs his hole deeper, as one of Rohner's own executives is then killed and the Seattle police find concrete evidence placing Van at the scene. With no other options, he goes on the run, alone and unaided. He's hunted by the cops, the enraged Rohner, and a pair of psychopathic hitmen who chase Van from one coast to the next. To clear his name, Van Shaw will have to uncover the hidden motive of corporate espionage at a global level, even with a band of killers on his tail who are determined to add Van to their growing list of victimsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Rodger Nichols connects with author Glen Erik Hamilton about HARD COLD WINTER and his debut, PAST CRIMES. About the book HARD COLD WINTER: ”Hamilton renders the ample violent action effectively, but the best parts of the story are the vignettes he intersperses depicting Van and Elana’s criminal exploits when they were 17.” (Publishers Weekly) “Hamilton skillfully creates a well-oiled situation with a direct writing style... brimming with action, conflict, and realistic and compelling characters. Readers of the first book will be delighted with the backstory, and aficionados of the genre will eat this one up.” (Library Journal (starred review) Get his books: http://bit.ly/20tiFAB Glen Erik Hamilton Book List His website: www.glenerikhamilton.com Similar authors: Harlan, Coben, Robert Crais, Dennis Lehane, Lisa Gardner Follow him on Facebook Follow him on Twitter Watch Videos
