Cold Cold Heart

Dana Nolan was a promising young television reporter until a notorious serial killer nearly added her to his list of victims.

Almost a year after barely surviving, she returns to her Indiana hometown to live with her mother and stepfather, carrying deep physical and psychological scars, including PTSD and a traumatic brain injury that scrambles her words, memories, and ability to manage everyday tasks.

Back home, reporters press her about Casey Grant, her closest childhood friend, who vanished without a trace the summer after their high school graduation seven years earlier. As fragments of memory resurface, Dana becomes fixated on uncovering what happened to Casey, and reconnects with John Villante, Casey's former boyfriend and the man many locals still suspect of the disappearance.

But Dana's damaged mind makes every recollection unreliable, and through the dark filter of her trauma, old friends and loved ones begin to look like suspects. As she pushes toward the truth, she cannot be certain whether the danger lies in the past or much closer to home.
