Like the secret love child of Dirty Harry and Martha Stewart, Brick Ransom is a rookie cop with a taste for fine dining and zero patience for slovenly deadbeats and criminal scum. In the middle of a rare Northwest blizzard, Brick is forced to cut his dinner short in order to protect three key witnesses - a bookkeeper, a stripper, and a deadly assassin - all of whom are set to testify against Seattle crime boss Frank Mason the next morning. When a gunman ambushes the first witness en route to his downtown hotel, and Brick's partner is killed in the crossfire, it's quickly apparent that moles within the police force are leaking the whereabouts of each witness back to Mason in a last-ditch effort to keep the criminal kingpin from ever standing trial. As the storm worsens, and the city freezes to a standstill, it's up to Brick Ransom to protect the last two witnesses, outwit Frank Mason's team of killers and crooked cops, and do his best to ignore his growling stomach, all while struggling to contain his growing fascination with Witness #2. With its signature blend of dark humor and page-turning action, Seattle On Ice is Mike Attebery's most exciting book yet! What readers are saying about Mike Attebery's books: "Get this book, stay up late, and dig in. And remember this author's name, you'll be hearing more of it in the future." "This book will grab you and pull you into all of the action, comedy, and romance that we crave as readers!" "With some great twists and turns the adventure never seems to stop. Very entertaining read. I'm looking forward to reading more of his books."… (altro)

The events depicted were a bit over the top, but a fun read. ( )

It's snowing in Seattle, there's corruption at every turn & Ransom needs a good meal. This was a fun read for a weekend. A cop trying to keep witnesses safe for a big trial the next day is difficult enough but our cop, Ransom is having to do so in a snow storm of epic proportions not knowing who he can trust & on a very tense run. The action was vivd & very much like watching a movie (especially the library & market chases). The characters were well drawn & honestly, I was very much a fan of all the food references. I wanted a bowl of Mrs. Ransom's beef stew with warm bread (no offense to the divine osso bucco or onion tartlet). When your cop is channelling Martha Stewart-isms to get him through his travails, I think that's pretty special. This isn't going to change your life or anything but it is darned entertaining. I suggest having good food & wine nearby. ( )
