as the third in Kelley Armstrong's
Haven's Rock
series, itself a continuation of her long running
Rockton
mysteries. After the Council gave up on Rockton, detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, built a new refuge deep in the Yukon for people running from their pasts.
T
he fact that Casey is pregnant and near her due date does not stop her from getting in on all the action, launched quickly in this episode. A female resident is drugged in the bar and dragged into the woods. She fought back and escaped further harm, but who did it? A blizzard hits the area just as Eric and Casey investigate. Another resident goes missing and their search uncovers her naked, frozen corpse in the woods.
A
s tension rises, they discover that Casey's baby is in breech, and one of their residents is not who they thought he was. Their search intensifies just as Casey's labor begins. The plot escalates to a violent crescendo as a serial killer targets Casey - and she gives birth to Rory, on very thin ice.
