Narrated by Eric G. Dove Cold & Deadly is the first book in the spin off from Toni Anderson’s long-running Cold Justice series, Cold Justice: Crossfire, and it features characters who work as negotiators for the FBI’s Crisis Negotiation Unit, which conducts and manages on-scene negotiations during crisis events worldwide involving US citizens.

While not as dark as some of Ms. Roberts’ previous books, I wouldn’t say this one is for the faint of heart, especially if child cruelty is…
