There are a few well-placed men who don't want Cal and Dante to solve this case.An absorbing mixture of history and suspense, told with a meticulous eye for detail and character, Serpents in the Cold is a moving exploration about two men battling for second chances.

The fact that this novel captures Doyle’s writing style is one of the greatest advantages for this series of stories.
