"Dean Koontz fans will find much to like in Rector's debut....Rector takes a stock noir setup and makes the most of it through clever plotting and spare prose.". Publishers Weekly. A young couple, down on their luck, is snowed in at a remote motel with two million in cash that they've "borrowed" from a mysteriously ill fellow traveler. The power's out, the snow keeps falling, and behind the motel there's a meth lab run by a crazy right-to-lifer. As everybody waits for the snowplows to clear an escape route, the body count begins--and then keeps rising. This first-person story is told from the point of view of a young ex-con, and some listeners may wish for a narrator with less polish and more vocal grit than Paul Michael Garcia. But that small beef aside, Garcia does a darn good job at keeping the tension high in this terror-filled mystery. R.W.S. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine. AudioFile Magazine.

So when they are approached at a roadside diner by a shady hitchhiker offering $500 for a ride to Omaha, they wonder if their luck might be changing. At first it seems like so much easy money—but within a few hours the man is dead.</p> <p>Now, forced off the road by a blizzard and trapped in a run-down motel on the side of a deserted highway, Nate and Sara begin to uncover the man's secrets: who he was, how he died, and most importantly, why he was carrying two million dollars in his suitcase. Before they know it, Nate and Sara are fighting for their lives. In the end, each has to decide just how far they are willing to go to survive.</p> <p>The Cold Kiss is an everyman psychological thriller that pits a young couple against moral corruption, greed, betrayal, and love.
