Their countries have a special relationship. They have a marriage.
Stephanie Thompson-Newman thought she was investigating a murder.
She was wrong.
The evidence leads beyond Denver PD, and into a world of intelligence services, old alliances and secrets powerful enough to change the future.
Her husband Drew appears to be exactly who he says he is: a successful British venture capitalist with an unshakeable calm under pressure.
But Drew has spent years ensuring the most dangerous part of his life stayed buried.
Now someone is digging it up.
As governments collide, loyalties fracture and a hidden enemy moves into the open, Stephanie discovers that the greatest threat isn't the people she's hunting…
… it's the truth about the man she married.
In a world where loyalty is lethal and secrets are currency, how well can you ever know the person sleeping beside you?
Cold Ground is the first novel in The Thompson-Newman Files, a contemporary transatlantic thriller series where police investigation meets international intelligence—and marriage can be the most dangerous partnership of all.
"A clever, compulsive thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats with its intricately layered plot and compelling characters."
