The region is renowned for its sub-zero temperatures, dropping to minus 40 degrees – sometimes for months at a time. Yet, it’s not just the frigid winters and geographic seclusion that render Winnipeg peculiar.   When Harlow’s father mysteriously disappears amid a brutal cold snap, suspicions of foul play arise. It’s not like Scott to miss phone calls – and he’s been even more cautious since that time he was catfished by a romance scammer. Unhappy with the pace of the police investigation, Harlow launches her own search, enlisting her sister Blaise’s reluctant help. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"subcategories--mobile-button\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"subcategory-data--data pb-0 mb-0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs Harlow struggles to uncover what happened to her father, she’s forced to question everything and everyone around her – including herself. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eCOLD TRUTH\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘an enjoyably chilly read.’\u003cb\u003e – \u003ci\u003eThe Australian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘hard to put down.’\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e– \u003ci\u003eArtshub\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Featuring some great twists, vivid locations and a well described cast of credible characters, Cold Truth is a highly entertaining and gripping read.’\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e– Canberra Weekly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘A hostile landscape, malicious tech and blood ties bring the chills.’\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e–The Newcastle Herald\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashley Kalagian Blunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47296890470567,"sku":"9781761151682","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4945\/4503\/files\/ColdTruth-KalagianBlunt-2025-9781761151682.jpg?v=1763536585","url":"https:\/\/www.murderousink.com.au\/products\/cold-truth","provider":"Murderous Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
