Che cosa sta succedendo all'Università di Cambridge? Perché tante morti tra gli studenti? Quando una lunga serie di apparenti suicidi scuote il prestigioso ateneo, l'agente Lacey Flint viene immediatamente inviata sul luogo da Scotland Yard. Deve interpretare sotto copertura la parte di una ragazza vulnerabile che riprende gli studi dopo un esaurimento nervoso. Lacey inizia subito a indagare entrando in contatto con le compagne delle vittime e scopre che tutte, prima di togliersi la vita in modo cruento, avevano sofferto di depressione e stati d'ansia, accompagnati da disturbi del sonno e incubi ricorrenti in cui le loro paure più profonde parevano oltremodo reali. Alcune sembravano drogate ed erano sparite per giorni senza poi ricordare dove fossero state, sostenendo che qualcuno le spiasse nella loro vita quotidiana. Aiutata da una professoressa di psicologia che aveva avuto in cura molte di loro, Lacey è determinata a scoprire che cosa si celi dietro tutto questo orrore, rischiando a sua volta di venire risucchiata in un vortice di terrore e distruzione.

From the Edgar Award-winning author of Silent Joe, a new hard-hitting thriller of murder, vengeance, and secret passions that will keep readers spellbound. Homicide cop Tom McMichael is on the rotation when an 84-year-old city patriarch named Pete Braga is found bludgeoned to death. Not good news, especially since the Irish McMichaels and the Portuguese Bragas share a violent family history dating back three generations. Years ago Braga shot McMichael's grandfather in a dispute over a paycheck; soon thereafter Braga's son was severely beaten behind a waterfront bar -- legend has it that it was an act of revenge by McMichael's father. McMichael must put aside the old family blood feud, and find the truth about Pete Braga's death. Braga's beautiful nurse is a suspect -- she says she stepped out for some firewood, but key evidence suggests otherwise. The investigation soon expands to include Braga's business, his family, the Catholic diocese, a multi-million dollar Indian casino, a prostitute, a cop, and, of course, the McMichael family. Cold Pursuit is the novel that T. Jefferson Parker fans have been waiting for.
