I've been following Taylor Moore's Garrett Kohl adventures since book 1. That said, i feel it's important to know your background before jumping into the 4th installment.
Cold Trail picks up right after Garrett has made his deal with the devil to keep the family farm from folding. Kohl farm has partnered with Garrett's nemesis to form Savage Exploration, a new energy venture.
Life is slowly getting better for the Kohls. Garrett's adopted son Asadi is learning how to be a cowboy. Girlfriend Lacey is ready to settle down with her man. Grumpy dad is still grumpy.
Then Garrett's long lost sister Grace makes her prodigal return. Grace has greedy intentions involving a pipeline to the Texas coast.
An explosion at a nearby natural gas plant gets everyone's attention. One worker dies, another is badly hurt.
Then come the protesters. Garrett's old war buddy Kai leads the pack.
Garrett thinks the explosion was planned. Then another explosion hits closer to home. A conspiracy is in the works.
Cold Trail splits into three separate stories. Asadi attempts to survive a raging snowstorm while rescuing horses. Asadi's estranged brother fights for his life in Afghanistan with a tough CIA agent. Plus Garrett and Kai battle a phantom Frenchman set on leveling the playing field.
Enjoy thrice the thrill with Garrett Kohl #4. The tension is relentless, the stakes never higher, and the characters are as real as a Texas blizzard.
