The Thaw

Fifteen years ago, Silas walked out of a high-security Syndicate vault with a fortune and vanished into a blinding mountain storm. He was the best architect in the business, a ghost who knew how to build exits where none existed. But in the isolated town of Oakhaven, Silas found the one door he couldn't open. Sheriff Thorne was the first to the wreck. He didn't find a survivor; he found a golden opportunity. By executing the dying thief and burying the stolen millions into the town's infrastructure, Thorne transformed Oakhaven from a dying mining outpost into his own private, clinical empire. But a fortune built on a corpse is a debt that never stops accruing interest. >When Kael breaks into Thorne's inner sanctum, the truth is colder than he imagined: Silas never left. Preserved in a cryogenic tomb, his body is the ultimate evidence of Thorne's betrayal. As the Syndicate's most lethal hitmen descend on the mountain to reclaim their prize, Oakhaven becomes a battlefield. In a three-way war between a corrupt lawman, a vengeful mob, and a man with nothing left to lose, Kael must decide whether he's there to solve a mystery or to burn the whole town down to melt the ice. >
