The Dead Cold Series: Books 26-28
** SAVE 33% WHEN PURCHASING THIS BOX SET ** BOOKS 26-28 IN THE USA TODAY BESTSELLING DEAD COLD SERIES FROM 2 MILLION BESTSELLING AUTHOR BLAKE BANNER Books There are a lot of things you really don’t want to find when you’re a homicide detective in the Bronx. High on the list is a new serial killer. Serial killers are real bad news because they kill without motive, so they are hard to trace and they can take years to catch.
But even worse than a new serial killer, is a new kind of serial one who murders with a motive, but a motive so unfathomable nobody can understand it; a motive that makes his choice of victims incomprehensible and unpredictable, a motive that leads to each victim being killed in a particularly cruel and unusual way.
One thing – and one thing only – connects each of these awful crimes, and that’s that each victim is made to die slowly, reflecting on the way they have lived, listening to some piece of ancient, sacred music.
When the case finally reaches Detectives Stone and Dehan at the 43rd it is already six years old, and no closer to being solved than it was when the first victim died. To Stone it seems there is a sinister and intelligent hand at work – the hand of a fallen angel.

Great stories
I really enjoyed this series, so much that I bought another series to read. Although I love Blake Banner's writing he does cheat, in that he used the same premise for a character named Bat in the new set of stories that he used for Dehan in these stories. That is a little disappointing. Otherwise these are great stories. I can't wait for more Stone and Dehan Dead Cold cases.

What a partnership
Dehan and Stone work together and live together. Husband and wife are infallible cold case detectives. Every story in these books is different. Every story has a twist. A great series.

Dead Cold Series...👍
I really liked this series. As each book, or case, ended I had to jump right into the next one. A lot of great drama, mixed with humorous banter between the co-workers, led to some great twists as the whodunits unfolded as each case was solved.

Another page turner
Blake Banner does it again, leading the reader on a winding journey of twists and turns with an unexpected ending.

Great read about my old friends Dehan and Stone.
Again, very enjoyable reading, while not able to figure out the bad guy. I can’t wait to read more from Blake Banner.

Fantastic series
I don't usually do reviews, but I loved every single book in the stone cold series. I'd definitely recommend them to lovers of crime fiction.
