Cold-Blooded
PI Jocelyn Rush #2
Cold-Blooded (2015)
Cold-Blooded opens with a murder that has already haunted people for years. Fourteen years after teenage track star Sydney Adams was shot in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park, the case is still unsolved—but retired homicide detective Augustus Knox has never let it go. Now dying and desperate to see the truth uncovered before time runs out, he turns to private investigator Jocelyn Rush for help. That setup gives the novel its strongest pull: this is not just a cold-case thriller, but a story shaped by unfinished grief, obsession, and the pressure of a last chance. As Jocelyn starts digging, the mystery takes on a darker edge, with the sense that the killer is not safely buried in the past at all. It feels tense and personal rather than flashy, driven by the emotional weight of a case that has lingered for far too long and the danger of disturbing whatever has kept it hidden.
