Cold Shot
Chesapeake Valor #1
By Dani Pettrey

Griffin McCray thought he could leave the pain of the past behind him, but when non-Civil War era remains are found at Gettysburg he's about to have a reunion with his past.

Finley Scott's archaeological dig was the last place one would expect to be a crime scene. But it is and someone wants to keep it a cold case forever. And they'll do anything to keep it that way, even murder.

Years ago Griffin's world was forever altered fracturing the friendships of his youth. But this case is about to draw them together again. Drawing on their unique skill sets with various branches of law-enforcement Griffin, Declan Gray, and Parker Mitchell are about to team up with Finley Scott. Can they determine not only the identity of their victim but also the motive? The deeper they dig the more disturbing this case becomes.

Fans of Dani's Alaskan Courage series will enjoy this change of scene with the debut of her newest series Chesapeake Valor. The ties that bind in this series are friendship rather than family but these ties are just as strong. These are characters that are likable and ones with whom one can empathize as they each still deal with the loss of a good friend - Luke Gallagher. But who is Luke Gallagher? And why did he disappear all those years ago? What truths will be revealed?

I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher Bethany House in exchange for my honest review.
