Darkness the color of snow
(Book)

Out on a rural highway on an icy night, what begins as a clear-cut arrest for drunk driving spirals out of control. Patrolman Ronny Forbert sits in his cruiser trying to make time pass until his shift ends. His old friend turned nemesis, Matt Laferiere comes speeding over a hill. A heated argument between two young men with a troubled past ends in a fatal hit and run on an icy stretch of blacktop. Police Chief Gordy Hawkins stands by Forbert, but a few manipulative people in town decide a crime must have been committed, and Forbert must pay a price.
