Frostbite & Flatlines

By: Sally Winters

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Travel nurse Sandra Tungsten thought she'd seen it all—from Washington rain to Arizona heat. But nothing prepared her for a Montana blizzard that transforms Silver Peak Hospital into a frozen prison. When the Chief of Medicine is found dead in the cryogenic storage room during the worst storm in decades, the official verdict is a tragic accident. But Sandra notices what others miss: the disabled emergency release, the missing keycard, and the impossible timeline that doesn't add up. With roads buried under three feet of snow and cell towers down, she realizes the killer isn't just in the building—they're trapped there with her.

As the generator fuel runs low and the temperature drops, Sandra must navigate the close-knit politics of a small-town hospital where everyone has secrets and no one can leave. Her therapy dog Hypo becomes her greatest asset, alerting to clues the human eye would miss. With the help of a sharp-eared retired doctor, a gruff maintenance worker, and her own nursing expertise, Sandra pieces together a puzzle of professional betrayal, stolen research, and long-buried resentments. But in a locked-down hospital where the killer walks the same hallways, asking the right questions could make her the next victim.

From the author of Code Blue in Cascade and The Mirage Malpractice comes a claustrophobic cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page. Perfect for fans of medical mysteries, small-town intrigue, and amateur sleuths who solve crimes with observation and intelligence rather than technology. Join Sandra and Hypo as they prove that the coldest mysteries are solved with the warmest hearts.
