Praise for Cold-Blooded Trade
“Cox does a stellar job at penning intriguing characters that readers will connect to. Tanner leaps off the page, a doting father and a proud pet owner with a job that brings excitement at every turn. That pet is a highlight—a blind bobcat named Ray (as in Charles)— as is Tanner’s unique beat, which gives Cox the chance to plot out a thriller that mixes a smart procedural with The Crocodile Hunter.”

“Kerry K. Cox knows how to pace a thriller, and this next adventure with the unorthodox, sharp-witted, and enigmatic Nick Tanner leaves no room for boredom with its many twists and turns… ramping up the tension as danger lurks from every angle…. dangerous and tense… a unique premise and a highly engaging central hero.”
