His plans for a quiet, contemplative winter in the wilds of Michigan's Upper Peninsula are destroyed when he discovers a naked, unconscious woman on his porch during a blizzard.Snowbound at the cabin, without transportation or phone coverage, Seamus struggles to keep the woman alive and find a way to get an SOS message out. What he doesn't know is that a domestic paramilitary organization dedicated to overthrowing the government is hunting for an escaped female prisoner—and closing in on his isolated refuge.A thriller that captures nature as a character will appeal to fans of William Kent Krueger, Steve Hamilton, and Nevada Barr. EMPTY PROMISES (Seamus McCree #5): If you love the suspense and plot twists of domestic thrillers, this page-turner will be for you. Seamus McCree's first assignment hiding a witness goes from bad to worse.
