The Big Thaw Tapa dura - 2002

Información de la editorial

This Anthony Award-nominated author has won critical acclaim for his heartland thrillers featuring Sheriff's Deputy Carl Houseman. While battling a grueling thirty-below-zero Iowa January, Houseman is baffled by a series of burglaries in the deserted backwoods farms of Nation County. The Iowa snowbirds have flown south, leaving their houses and valuables for the taking. When news of a high-speed chase warbles out of his police scanner, he knows there is no one else to join the pursuit. Little does he know that the suspected burglar tearing up the back roads is not running from the police. He's running from what he suspects is a robbery gone awry at the supposedly empty farm of Cletus Borglan. Sure enough, there are two dead men at Borglan's farm and what appears to be a botched robbery soon proves connected to something a lot more complicated -- a scheme to pull of a million-dollar siege of Iowa's biggest economic asset -- the Colonel Beauregard riverboat casino.
