Cold Water

The clearest, coldest wafers imaginable are found in Oregon’s North Umpqua river in springtime. Here, ex-intelligence agent John Denson goes to hook steelhead trout. But instead, he finds himself entangled in a deadly net of international intrigue and conspiracy. It all starts when the naked body of a girl with a bullet hole between her eyes goes rushing past Denson in the rapids. He embarks on a search to find the girl's identity and bring her killer to justice. Strange clues lead to three more corpses, bringing the body-count to four. Could Denson be in danger of becoming the fifth? What connects the bodies? And who is killer? As Denson embroils himself further into a web of deadly intrigue he realises everything is not as it seems... To free himself, he will need all of his ingenuity and resourcefulness. He will also need a whole lot of luck just to stay alive... ‘Cold Water’ is a thrilling private investigation starring John Denson.
