Cold Country
Released November 12, 2019
Russell Rowland’s new novel, set in the shadow of Paradise Valley, is a murder mystery of sorts, but while readers are rapidly turning pages to learn who did it, they’ll also find that Rowland is peeling away the layers of a larger mystery—how can it be that those to whom we are closest—our friends, our neighbors, our family members—remain so unknowable to us? Cold Country is remarkable in many respects, perhaps chiefly in the way Russell Rowland finds extraordinary drama in ordinary lives.
