 nIt's February in the Thousand Islands and, cut off from civilization
  by endless ice, eight people are overwintering on tiny, remote Running Pi
 ne. Six year-rounders, used to the hard work, isolation and freezing tempe
 ratures . . . and two newcomers: social media stars Cary and Sylvie, whose
  account documenting their year on the island is garnering thousands of fo
 llowers, and thousands of dollars' worth of luxury gifts.\r\nThe long
 -term islanders will tell you Running Pine can be perilous - especially fo
 r city slickers who'll do anything to get the perfect shot. So when C
 ary doesn't return from ice fishing one morning, his neighbors fear t
 he worst.\r\nWith the clock ticking to find the missing influencer, a poli
 ce team is dispatched to take the dangerous journey to the island . . . bu
 t Sylvie, his frantic partner, will only talk to one person: newlywed Seni
 or Investigator Shana Merchant.\r\nWhere is Cary - and what is it that Syl
 vie's not sharing? With aspects of the case reminding Shana of an uns

 ty to help. But little does she know that a storm is coming - and if she d
 oesn't solve both crimes soon, she may become the island's next 
 victim . . .\r\nThe latest taut, thrilling small-town mystery featuring Ne
