D'autres printemps

Virginie Grimaldi

Description

When a veteran investigative reporter is found dead in an ice-coated parking garage, the only way to prove it was murder is to read the weather.

Cleveland's chief meteorologist Brooke Wilde knows the December derecho's minute-by-minute temperature drop better than anyone — she broadcast it live. So when FBI Special Agent Ryan Wilde, her estranged husband, asks her to decode the dead man's weather-timestamped surveillance photos, Brooke realizes the flash freeze didn't kill Warren Briggs. It preserved the evidence that someone else did.

As Brooke and Ryan follow the money trail from a corrupted renovation project to a powerful name hiding behind Cleveland's cultural renaissance, someone reaches into Brooke's broadcast systems with a chilling message: I'm watching. The same financial network that killed her makeup artist ten months ago has claimed another colleague — and Brooke may be next.

With hurricane-force winds, a killer who uses weather forecasts to plan murder, and a couples therapy session that finally cracks open the wound at the heart of their marriage, Brooke and Ryan must navigate the most dangerous storm of all: the truth they've been avoiding since the night she lost their baby and he wasn't there.
