In Cold Skies, Thumps’s quest for peace proves futile as the local sheriff, learning of his investigative past, asks for his help in finding the truth behind the sudden discovery of a body. With town set to host a major water conference, the sheriff wants it wrapped up quickly but what Thumps comes to realise is that there may be a connection between the body and the delegates who will soon come flooding into the town. Has he uncovered something much bigger than he could have imagined and what are the secretive forces at play here?

Clare is the investigator charged with tracking her down, but when she travels to High River looking for answers, she only finds more questions.
