Natalie Dvorak Mysteries #1

Detective Sergeant Natalie Dvorak has had a lot to prove since joining the Vermont State Police. It's 1982 and not all the boys like to work with a "lady cop". Dvorak's hard work and tough exterior demands the respect of male skeptics both on and off the force. In the remote town of Holbrook, a body turns up with one of the detective's cards in his pocket. The man had been out to prove his brother innocent of murder but is now a victim himself. Sergeant Dvorak must not only investigate the crime, following a trail of clues from a lonely, abandoned farmhouse to a second-rate nursing home, but also tread carefully in a love affair with a married cop. As she nears capture of a dangerous killer, a freak snowstorm adds to the danger Dvorak faces.
