Cold Shot By Dani Pettrey

Summary

Remains of a dead body are found under a tree in the Gettysburg National Military Park; not unusual in the area, except that this skeleton's remaining soft tissue indicates that the corpse was recently buried. Chief Ranger Griffin McCray calls in forensic anthropologist Finely Scott to help secure what appears to be a crime scene; and it is. When McCray and Scott call in additional experts to identify the victim; a well known and respected human rights lawyer, it becomes quite obvious that someone is taking extreme measures to make certain that investigators don't uncover what they so carefully attempted to disguise . Griffin and Finley have been politely, but aloofly working together over a period of months while Finley finished an excavation project in the Gettysburg Park. Serious sparks fly, however, when a dangerous sniper takes a calculated shot and Griffin makes it his business to protect the lovely woman. Working with McCray and some of his colleagues, who just happen to be childhood friends, ignites Finley's deepest fears, but she feels safe with Griffin, and cautiously hopes for a relationship that is beyond fragile and casual. Helping Griffin find peace with his past is crucial and staying alive will be absolutely mandatory, if Griffin and Finley are going to have any chance at a future. Unravelling this complex case is fascinating for the reader and life threatening for its characters, especially when the story transcends into government level international crime. \"Cold Shot\" is an entertaining suspense , providing an excellent catalyst for Dani Pettrey's new Chesapeake Valor series.
