Local author (Mpls.) takes on Minnesota's long, sometimes horrible, winters (or at least the way they used to be) , as well as a seemingly normal family and their dysfunctional ways and weaves the two into a relatively short, fascinating study of how human nature and nature itself are not that much different from each other. Despite a few oversights such how does one inject so much morphine into a dying woman and get away with it, this book is a must-read for anyone trying to outlast the months between fall and spring.

Fourteen degrees below zero--cold enough to freeze the soul

Lewis Ingraham is cold. He's lost his wife to cancer, his executive career, his once sure grip on the world around him. All that he can hold on to is his beautiful daughter Jay, a brilliant student who has become a struggling single mother. But he sees that even Jay is starting to slip away from him, in favor of Stephen, her self-important boyfriend. This time Lewis is going to fight back.

But when Lewis takes out his fury on Stephen, he ignites a chain reaction of violence. Now winter is bearing down on Minnesota. Desire, guilt, and rage are swirling in the snow. And a heinous crime is about to lead three people down a steep and unforgiving slope--into a realm of cold, hard truth.

Set in a chillingly barren milieu and invoking comparisons to Donald Westlake's bestselling classic The Ax, 14 Degrees Below Zero is a stunning, provocative, and utterly unforgettable experience in psychological suspense and American noir--fashioned from the heat of ordinary lives.
