She\u2019s a widow in the job her husband once held, with the purse strings held by a toxically masculine board. It&#8217;s January in Minnesota, snowing with more predicted, serious drug problems in the town, and the comic relief of an insulting new webpage done by a leading citizen\u2019s nephew. An elderly man with dementia has wandered off without his coat, there is a missing teenage girl, and the snowplows can\u2019t keep up with what\u2019s coming down. Red locates the man, but Missy, the teen, has reasons for running that are unclear. The danger Missy is in comes not only from the weather but from some really bad individuals. Red has to connect all the pieces\u2014information from cold cases of the past, secrets in the present\u2014while trying to keep everyone safe from the weather and from the danger she senses but can\u2019t define. <strong>Red is a wonderful character, fighting to save her town with loyal deputies and a group of retired nurses. She succeeds in the end by her ability to listen. It seems we will see more of Red, one would hope in a more pleasant season.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not an easy time for Sheriff Red Hammergren.
