COLD STEELE IBD

Sinopse

A SERIAL KILLER IS SAYING IT WITH FLOWERS... In the fourth installment of Kimberly Amato?s chilling hard-boiled mystery series, badass detective Jasmine Steele is back - and shockingly, to herself most of all - she?s as happy as she?s ever been. She and her brilliant psychologist partner Frankie are planning a wedding that?s been years in the making, and she?s settled into a new chapter of life with her nephew-turned-adopted son, Chase. But the good life turns out to be more fleeting than the detective?s caffeine withdrawals.Jasmine, or Jazz, to her friends, gets a rude awakening when a 3-year-old cold case comes back hot. New York City?s 'Carnation Killer,' a serial rapist and murderer, leaves his fifth calling card on a woman named Emilia Smith. The calling card? A heart-shaped carving into the woman?s chest and a single white carnation. On the creep spectrum, Jazz puts this killer somewhere between Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer. And her veteran right-hand man is on medical leave.She?s joined instead by temporary partner Detective Sydney Locke, a welcome new character. Sydney?s pretty green but has a fiery determination and talent for the beat that Jazz recognizes within minutes. Soon enough, they?ve got a mentor/protégé thing going - which certainly comes in handy at their often patriarchal workplace. And it turns out Jazz and Syd will need that and more when the military gets involved with the investigation- because the victim is none other than the daughter of a high-ranking official, and the brass knows more than they?re saying. What the team do know is that Emilia?s last night alive was spent at a college bar that sparks Jasmine? least happy memory -the very same establishment that served as a backdrop to her own early adult years, a past defiled and traumatized by a dangerous man. Just as Jazz is finally ready to be happy, her bone-chilling trauma comes rushing back. And the Carnation Killer is still out there.
