Maura Isles and a group of friends are stranded in a Wyoming blizzard near a ghost town — an abandoned community that was apparently a doomsday cult compound. When they investigate the buildings, they find five bodies. Rizzoli works the case from Boston while Maura is cut off. Ice Cold is the eighth Rizzoli & Isles novel — the most claustrophobic; Maura isolated and in danger.
