Brian Freeman’s Frost Easton series, which kicked off in 2017 with The Night Bird, is set to continue (following this year’s The Voice Inside) next January with The Crooked Street.
Following this year’s release, which saw Easton take the high road when he admitted that the man who killed his sister was put away for life due to dirty evidence planted by his own friends, only to square off with the killer once he’s released from prison and begins terrorizing a small town, Brian Freeman’s fan-favorite San Francisco homicide inspector is set to take on a vicious new killer in 2019. Check out the plot details below!
The hunt for a killer in San Francisco becomes a dizzying game of cat and mouse in a thrilling novel of psychological suspense.
“Lombard is your Moriarty, Frost. Taking him down will be the most dangerous thing you’ve ever done.”
San Francisco homicide detective Frost Easton hadn’t seen his estranged friend Denny in years. Not until he dies in Frost’s arms uttering a final inexplicable word: Lombard. Denny appears to be the latest victim in a string of murders linked by a distinctive clue: the painting of a spiraled snake near the crime scenes. Is it the work of a serial killer? Or is Denny’s death more twisted and personal?
To find the answer, Frost reaches into a nest of vipers—San Francisco’s shady elite—where the whispered name of Lombard is just one secret. Now, drawn into a cat-and-mouse game with an enemy who knows his every move, Frost finds there is no one he can trust. And somewhere down the crooked streets of the city, Frost’s cunning adversary is coiled and ready to strike again.
Though it’s not scheduled for publication until January 29, 2019, fans excited about Brian Freeman’s forthcoming new thriller can pre-order The Crooked Street on Amazon or anywhere else books are sold.
