Publisher Description
2017 Arthur Ellis Best First Novel Award Finalist
It’s too cold to go missing in northern B.C., as a mismatched team of investigators battle the clock while the disappearances add up.
A popular rockabilly singer has vanished in the snowbound Hazeltons of northern B.C. Lead RCMP investigator David Leith and his team work through the possibilities: has she been snatched by the so-called Pickup Killer, or does the answer lie here in the community, somewhere among her reticent fans and friends?
Leith has much to contend with: rough terrain and punishing weather, motel-living and wily witnesses. The local police force is tiny but headstrong, and one young constable seems more hindrance than help — until he wanders straight into the heart of the matter.
The urgency ramps up as one missing woman becomes two, the second barely a ghost passing through. Suspects multiply, but only at the bitter end does Leith discover who is the coldest girl of all.

“As a British Columbia resident I loved that this book was set in my home province, and was even more impressed that it was set in the BC north. Overall, it’s a pretty good mystery that is told with an eye to future character development in the upcoming sequels. The author captures the isolated north experience very well and, as her first book, she has certainly drawn me into reading the next instalment.”

“Cold girl by rm greenway.
A popular singer vanishes. Lead rcmp investigator david leith and his team work through the possibilities. Has she been snatched by the so-called pickup killer, or does the answer lie in the community, somewhere among her fans and friends. An enjoyable read. I had my suspicions so I couldn't put it down. I had to find out if I was right. I liked the ending too. 5*. Netgalley and dundurn.”
