The Bitter Season by Tami Hoag MYS Hoa

In the cold, bitter night of a Minneapolis winter there is a shocking double murder.  A university professor and his wife are killed in a very brutal way with a samurai sword from their home.

Sam Kovac is the detective assigned to the crime.  Sam's former partner, Nikki Liska, is beginning a less hectic job with a newly-formed cold case division.  The first case chosen is 25 years old. It was the death of a member of the police force.  He was shot in cold blood outside his home.  There was no physical evidence so it seems like a long shot.

In the meantime there is Evi Burke.  Although she had a hard life in the beginning she is now living a wonderful life.  She lives in a nice house with her family and has a job she loves in social services.  And then she receives a cryptic letter which shakes her up.  Someone doesn't think she deserves this good life.  There are many parts of her past life that she hasn't shared with her husband and she doesn't want to start now.

Obviously these two cases are going to be intertwined but it takes a while to get there - and that is what makes it entertaining to me!
