Book Summary: Jeff Buck thought he'd seen it all. Twenty years working undercover in the netherworld of drugs had left him burned out and grateful to assume the quiet job of police chief in the small town of Reminderville, Ohio. That is, until a simple domestic assault case turns out to have links to the murder of a drug runner in upstate New York and a syndicate smuggling billions of dollars in drugs across the U.S.-Canada border. As Buck reluctantly plunges back into his old world of death and deceit, he uncovers a complex chain linking the Hells Angels to the Russian Mafia in a plot to use Native American tribal land to smuggle their deadly wares into the United States.  Buck's efforts lead to an unprecedented slew of indictments on both sides of the border and prison terms for even the kingpins, toppling an empire once deemed invincible.

Rodger Nichols connects with author Glen Erik Hamilton about HARD COLD WINTER and his debut, PAST CRIMES. About the book HARD COLD WINTER: ”Hamilton renders the ample violent action effectively, but the best parts of the story are the vignettes he intersperses depicting Van and Elana’s criminal exploits when they were 17.” (Publishers Weekly) “Hamilton skillfully creates a well-oiled situation with a direct writing style... brimming with action, conflict, and realistic and compelling characters. Readers of the first book will be delighted with the backstory, and aficionados of the genre will eat this one up.” (Library Journal (starred review) Get his books:  http://bit.ly/20tiFAB Glen Erik Hamilton Book List His website: www.glenerikhamilton.com Similar authors: Harlan, Coben, Robert Crais, Dennis Lehane, Lisa Gardner Follow him on Facebook Follow him on Twitter Watch Videos --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/vjbooks/message
