About this ebook

A determined FBI agent hunts a sadistic serial killer in this “steamy” (Kirkus Review) Romantic Thriller with a “masterful plot” (The BookLife Prize) by New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

FBI Hostage Rescue Team member Shane Livingstone is frustrated when an injury sidelines him during an operation to catch a sadistic killer. A killer who auctions off vicious ways to torture his victims and screens the events for money on the dark web. When a teammate dies during the op, a devastated Shane vows to track down the monster responsible—but to do so he’ll need access to specialized skills he doesn’t possess.

A bloody game of cat and mouse…

As a white-hat hacker at Alex Parker’s security firm, Yael Brooks knows how to track predators through the darkest recesses of cyberspace. She can’t say no to Shane’s request…even though she fears her own secrets may put her at risk. 

With a serial killer who makes it personal…

Shane and Yael must work together as a team if they hope to stop this psychopath. As they begin to grow closer, Shane demands Yael’s complete trust, but trust is the one thing Yael is reluctant to give. As the chase intensifies and more people die, it becomes obvious that the killer knows exactly who Yael is and plans to make both her and Shane pay the ultimate price for getting in his way.

Ratings and reviews

Anderson delivers another top notch romantic suspense with Cold Silence. Shane and Yael join a dynamic cast of characters from the many departments of the FBI. Readers will be facinated with the storyline. The plot has so many twists, so much action and heat that readers will find it difficult to put down. I highly recommend this book to fans of the romantic suspense genre.

WOW! A top of the line whodunnit, with a side of romance and steam. The evil bad guy, is truly a piece of work. This book kept me engaged from beginning to the “edge of my seat” end. If you are a suspense romance reader, grab this newest book, it has it all. A definite addition to your TBR list.

This is the first book following the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team in Toni's contiuned Cold Justice series and it started with a bang! Wow. This book gave me the creepy crawlies with the newest bad guy the FBI is up against. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, needing to know what is going to happen next. Toni never fails to have you nervous about what's going to happen next all the while turning up the heat with the two main characters. Yael was such a mystery and I loved her character. Shane was upfront and the calm needed during a storm. The two of them together was the distraction you'd want while dealing with what was going on. With other favourite characters showing their faces and getting to know new ones there is never a dull moment during one of Toni's books. Such a fast paced, thrilling ride with the perfect amount of romance that will have you gripping your book to try and stay calm! Loved this book and can't wait for what's next!
