Synopsis

For ten years, the small Upper Peninsula town of Talvi has buried its dead and called it weather. Men die in their trucks, on the ice, in the woods — exposure, accidents, bad luck in a place where the cold has always taken people. No one looks twice.

Then June Okafor does. A disgraced FBI analyst sent north on a quiet step-down assignment — and hiding a neurological condition that is both her gift and her ruin — she runs the numbers on a decade of accidental deaths and finds a ledger hidden inside them. Eleven dead where there should have been two. And at every scene, the same impossible signature: one item of clothing or gear missing, always from the left side.

The killer is no stranger to Talvi. He is its grief made flesh — the boy the whole town once cheered as he was sent back onto the football field with a cracked skull, who came back from the coma changed into something that reads the cold the way other men read print, and keeps an account of everyone who looked away. To prove he exists at all, Okafor has to read what an entire town has spent ten years refusing to see. But the man she's hunting has been reading her right back — and the hardest truth isn't who did it. It's what a community will sacrifice for one Friday night, and what the sacrifice costs when it finally comes home.
