Dr. Emily Hartford is back in Frozen Lives, the next thrilling mystery from Jennifer Graeser Dornbush.

Chicago surgeon Emily Hartford has never quite shaken off the dust of her hometown in Michigan. She may be a professional success and have a princely boyfriend in the Windy City, but she can't seem to let go of being "the coroner's daughter" from Freeport.

Once again, she finds herself pulled back to her hometown when Jeremiah—the eleven-year-old son of her best friend, Jo—goes missing on the frigid shores of Lake Michigan.

To everyone's relief, Jeremiah turns up days later, alive and unharmed. But tensions remain high, and suspicions of every sort continue to grow. Jeremiah's account of his abduction doesn't add up, and Emily worries about Jo's unraveling marriage. Jeremiah's recovery, it turns out, is not the end of their terrifying tale. It's just the beginning ...

For moving among them is a devious, malevolent force. Sowing panic while seeking to fulfill his own twisted needs, this wolf in sheep's clothing leaves a trail of rack and ruin, heedless of the damage in his wake ... and the bodies he leaves behind.

Emily solidifies her role as the coroner's daughter when she puzzles out this madman's chilling machinations. Risking everything dear to her, Emily is determined to go the icy distance and end his killing spree.

      A doctor who returns to her hometown to help with the case of a missing child gets more than she bargains for when her best friend goes missing too. When she hears that her friend Jo Blakely's 11-year-old son, Jeremiah, has disappeared, Dr. Emily Hartford rushes from her work as a Chicago surgeon to her hometown of Freeport, Michigan. She's able to connect about the case immediately with her old friend Detective Ishkode Aditson about the case, but there's nothing to learn. Emily offers Jo what comfort she can, but she knows from her father's line of work as a coroner that the worst may be coming. So Emily's as thrilled as Jo when Jeremiah comes home safely. Though he has little memory or information about where he's been, his family is deeply relieved, and Emily can shift her focus back to life in the Windy City and her neglected relationship with her boyfriend, Brandon. But no sooner does she breathe a sigh of relief than the trouble multiplies. This time, not only is Jeremiah missing, but so is Jo, shocking Emily into investigative mode. Was Jeremiah's earlier absence part of some deeper plot? Emily fears that this double disappearance may be related to the case of the Sailor Slayer, a killer who kidnapped boys on Lake Michigan, doing unspeakable things before tossing their bodies away. In the absence of obvious leads, she draws on her experience as the coroner's daughter and on her knowledge of Jo to find out what happened to her friend and stop a potential killer. Everyday family dynamics are darkened by a creepy backdrop.
