About this listen
In this heart-pounding story of deception, murder, and survival, a former Olympian retreats to the Canadian wilderness for a fresh start, only to find out that the past will always catch up to her.
Julie Adler’s perfect facade is shattered by grief when her husband commits suicide. His death reveals that their luxurious California life was a house of cards, and his secret business dealings have left Julie penniless.
As she strikes out on her own, Julie feels drawn to her old stomping grounds in Banff, a charming and isolated ski town where she once trained for the Olympics. She finds work as a housekeeper at a luxury resort, but just as she starts to piece together a new life, an eccentric guest turns up dead. And Julie, the last person seen in her hotel room, is the prime suspect.
The evidence is stacked against her, but even in the encroaching blizzard, Julie knows her way around these mountains. She just needs to evade the police long enough to find the truth behind the murder…and before the real killer finds her first.

Then a fixer for the high-powered guilty party approaches Holly with an offer she is in no position to refuse.

The annual fall party on Silent Ridge Road is supposed to be a celebration of community—an entire day of drinking cider, sharing laughs, and forgetting any tension that's been simmering beneath the surface all year. But beneath the festive décor, polite smiles, and pumpkin-spiced charm of this small-town block lies a tangled web of deceit, obsession, and death. The neighbors are hiding dangerous secrets.

Critic reviews
“Set in a stunning but unforgiving landscape, Running Cold is chilling—both literally and figuratively. This twisty tale of murder, secrets, and exceptional human grit had me flying through the pages!”—Robyn Harding, bestselling author of The Drowning Woman
“When Julie’s life is ripped apart by her husband’s untimely death, it’s just the beginning of the journey that will lead her into her dark past and the secrets that swirled around her, sight unseen. A taught page-turner that draws you in and never lets go...”—Catherine McKenzie, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell
“Like an avalanche roaring down a mountain, Running Cold will ensnare you and not let go until the nail-biting finish. Walter masterfully explores the triumph of grit, the bonds of friendship, and the majesty of nature.”—Lori Brand, author of Bodies to Die For
