Jimmy Baker is a former ice hockey player and current Zamboni driver for the amateur team in his small town of Bitterfrost, Michigan. Though he lives an isolated life, everyone knows him and his history. So far he’s been successful in sticking to his one drink and staying out of trouble. But one morning he wakes up with injuries to his face, sees blood that he isn’t sure is his, and no memory of what happened. He doesn’t know where his phone is or why his car isn’t parked where it normally is. And when two bodies turn up near his house with all signs pointing to him, Jimmy can’t be 100% certain of any sort of alibi to prove it wasn’t him. Defense attorney and legacy resident Devyn Payne, and friend of Jimmy, comes to his aid to try to clear his name. Not only does she have her work cut out for her, she’s racing against detective Garth Klimmek to find the truth. Bitterfrost by Bryan Gruley is a mystery thriller where generations of small town rivalries die hard, and one man’s past could come back to ruin his future.
