"Cold Burn is a hot read. Grab it." ~ Rita Mae Brown
"Ehrman's third Steve Cline mystery finds Cline working the night shift at a Virginia Thoroughbred farm in foaling season, and the detailed, apparently accurate account of what normally goes on there is among the book's chief attractions. Another is Cline's secret attempt to find out what was behind the baffling disappearance of his predecessor, Bruce Claremont, whose knockout sister has convinced Cline to play sleuth. In that role, he encounters a rash of arson fires that eerily mimics a spate of fires that occurred 19 years earlier, an irrationally jealous boyfriend of one of the farm's knockout employees, and a quantity of missing cocaine--each of these may or may not be related to Claremont's disappearance, but all of them put Cline squarely in harm's way. Ehrman skillfully ratchets up the suspense en route to a surprising conclusing that nonetheless makes perfect sense. That is to say she fully engages the reader, then leaves him or her satisfied. What more could you ask of a mystery?" ~Dennis Dodge, Booklist
