Synopsis
Ten years ago, six-year-old Catalina Mateo hid under the porch of her family home while a knife butchered her mother and a bullet killed her father. Now a rough-sleeping orphan, Cat arrives at the house of Detective Jonathan Stride, pleading for protection. Covered in blood and drenched in the icy waters of Lake Superior, she claims to have narrowly escaped a cold-blooded killer. Stride s raw instinct is to protect Cat, whose late parents case and his personal guilt associated with it still sends a shiver down his spine. As a result, he takes the troubled teenager under his wing without as much as a second thought. But Stride s partner, Maggie Bei, is not convinced. She doubts the sincerity of this beautiful young streetwalker who has so easily won Stride s trust, and now sleeps in his house with a butcher s knife under her pillow. As Stride continues to care for Cat, Maggie s suspicions solidify, and a single question occupies the void between them: should Stride be afraid for, or of, this terribly damaged girl?

Review
PRAISE FOR BRIAN FREEMAN:
"As brilliant as Harlan Coben." --"Daily Mail"
"A master of psychological suspense." --Lisa Gardner
"This guy can tell a story." --Michael Connolly
PRAISE FOR THE COLD NOWHERE:
"Masterfully plotted . . . Freeman shows how those endless North Shore winters have toughened and aged Stride, closing him off from the world, but the author also convincingly makes Stride break out of his icy, self-imposed shell."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred)
"Back off, Nordic noir. For sheer wintry relentlessness and icebound desolation, the various Scandinavian settings now fashionable in thrillers cannot compete with the decaying shipping and mining city of Duluth, Minnesota. And this small city, whose crumbling mansions and factories converted to shops are an architectural reminder of an earlier era, is the perfect place for a thriller about the stranglehold the past exerts on the present. . . The narrative moves between the point of view of Stride and that of the girl's pursuer, making this well-plotted, atmospheric thriller feel like a high-stakes chess game."--Connie Fletcher, "Booklist"
"[The] characters are well drawn and add believability to the surprising twists and turns of the plot. . . . "The Cold Nowhere" is a solid mystery wrapped around interesting characters coming to grips with their troubled pasts and searching for redemption." --Scott Pearson, "Suspense Magazine"

"another rousing tale of suspense... a bevy of unexpected twists and turns that make for an emotional and chilling story of page-turning mystery."--Express Milwaukee
"I don't think I realized how much I missed the Jonathan Stride series until THE COLD NOWHERE, the latest installment, released... Seemingly incapable of writing a bad paragraph, Freeman is a master storyteller who makes the ice and grit and grime of street life in Duluth materialize beneath the feet of the reader. I was tempted to drive there just to check out the graffiti graveyard where the grim climax takes place. Writing and storytelling don't get much stronger than that, and thriller fiction doesn't get much better than The Cold Nowhere."--Joe Hartlaub, BookReporter
