I haven't read in a while, so I'm still trying to understand what's going on in Running Cold.
Two new characters were introduced. Calvin Macann and his son Wes. One of the chapters was even narrated by Wes. They are both drunks who have a gambling problem. My initial thought was they were in the casino when the shooting happening. But the I thought why didn't they mention in to their therapist (the main character) Mick Callahan. Mick is trying to help out with Calvin's financial needs. Calvin owes Marvin Roth a lot of money. Marvin has threatened Calvin. I then thought Marvin might be one of the shooters in the terrorist attack in the prologue.
Mick Callahan talks about his on and off again girlfriend, Darlene. Darlene is a cop, so I think Mick and Daralene will make up and he will help her with the case of terrorist.
Mick's friend Hal, who he hasn't seen in years because he is on top secret missions, suddenly wants to meet with Mick and Daralene. I think Hal wants them to help solve the shooting case. My predictions didn't make sense to me at first because why would he want a therapist to help him? Then i thought maybe if they have the shooters Mick will try to talk to them, so he can figure out why they did it.
I'm really not sure how this book will play out, but it's keeping me on my toes!
So you still don't really know much about the opening scene? This book sound mysterious.
ReplyDeleteWow... This book sounds so good!! At first, when I looked at the book (not to judge a book by it's cover), but I thought it would be a really romance-y novel. And then I read your blog about it. And, well, that totally changed everything. I definitely have a lot of interest in mystery novel, so this will be on my "want to read" list. Thanks :)
