Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
The latest “intense and fast-paced” Monkeewrench police procedural thriller, from New York Times–bestselling author P. J. Tracy (Library Journal)!
Minneapolis detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth join Grace MacBride and Monkeewrench to uncover a dark and ugly conspiracy that reaches deep into the safety of homes . . .
It's a bitter winter in Minnesota—too cold to kill. There hasn't been a murder for a month, but the lull quickly comes to an end for Detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth, when they're called to the gruesome homicide of Kelly Ramage. Found in a friend's vacant house, this was no random attack, and clues reveal that she was living a very dangerous secret life.
Magozzi and Gino trace her steps back to an art gallery where she was last seen alive. The gallery seems like a dead end, but the art is disturbing and exploitative. It may very well be inspiring a sadistic killer, because in this instance, art doesn't imitate life, it imitates death.
Tipped off about a year-old murder that is a mirror-image of Kelly's crime scene, Gino and Magozzi enlist the aid of Grace MacBride and her eccentric, tech genius partners in Monkeewrench Software to help them decipher the digital trail that might connect the cases.
As coincidences emerge, Magozzi, Gino, and the team have to work around the clock at breakneck pace to unravel a series of clues that form the framework of a larger, more sweeping, and insidious conspiracy than any of them could have imagined. Is Kelly the last person to die or just the most recent? And is there any way to stop it?

“Another great Monkeewrench thriller! Leo and Gino work the case of a woman who may have had a secret life and of course they ask for help from Monkeewrench who are working their own case. As clues emerge it seems the cases may be related. All Leo and Gino know is that enough people have died and they must stop the killer.
This story was full of action and I loved the focus on Roadrunner. Can’t wait for the next one!”mamablueback

“I really liked Ice Cold Heart because it gives a very true crime feel. It gave enough details without being over the top gory which I appreciate. Normally I don't go for books with so many characters or start with book #10 (I think) in a series, but this easily could have been a stand alone. P.J. Tracy does a good job of introducing everyone & including some background so you don't feel like you're missing much where I feel like other books from a series would just expect you to know the characters and their backgrounds from previous reading. I'm definitely going to have to try out some of the other Monkeewrench novels & see if they're just as good as this one.”Akanksha Jangid

“This is a great series. I love the characters especially the relationship between the two detectives. It's well written and the mystery of the story is very good.”
About P. J. Tracy
P. J. Tracy was the pseudonym of mother-daughter writing team P. J. and Traci Lambrecht. Traci spent most of her childhood riding and showing horses. She graduated with a Russian Studies major from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where she also studied voice. Her aspirations of becoming a spy were dashed when the Cold War ended, so she began writing to finance her annoying habits of travel and singing in rock bands. Much to her mother's relief, she finally realized that the written word was her true calling. They had a long, prolific career together in multiple genres before P. J.'s passing in December 2016. Traci continues to write.
