When local rock climbers stumble upon abandoned human bones in a remote Texas gorge, Sara Lockhart is the first to get the call. She has a reputation as one of the nation’s top forensic anthropologists, and police detective Nolan Hess knows she is just the expert he needs to help unravel this case. Although evidence is scarce, Nolan suspects the bones belong to a teenage climber who vanished last summer.
But as Sara unearths strange clues, she finds chilling similarities to a case from her past—a case that now threatens to rock Nolan’s community. While Sara digs deep for answers, the stakes rise higher as another young woman disappears without a trace. Investigators work against the clock as Sara races to discover the truth, even if her harrowing search brings her face to face with a stone-cold killer.

I love reading everything Laura Griffin writes because she knows how to write a well written story with intrigue and romance. I found the characters in Stone Cold Heart interesting, easy to like and they had a lot chemistry flowing between them.
I enjoy reading about the people who work at the Delphi Center and was excited to learn about this newest one, STONE COLD HEART. This story centers on Sara, she works at the Delphi Center in the Forensic Anthropology department. I admired everything about Sara; she is smart, good at her job and a nice person. She loves her job but she works so much, she doesn’t have a personal life. Sara isn’t intimidated by anything but relationships scare her because she doesn’t think she is good at them.
Detective Nolan Hess is confident, arrogant, assertive and empathetic. He works in the small town he grew up in and takes his job seriously. Nolan and Sara meet when they work on a case together. Neither of them are looking for a relationship but it is hard for them to fight the attraction brewing between them. Nolan is patient and loving to Sara and willing to do anything for her. He is just the kind of man Sara needs.
This story held my attention from start to finish and I also enjoyed the behind scenes look at how the police go about solving a murder. Time is running out because they think there is a serial killer is on the loose and they want to find him before there are any more victims. Laura Griffin writes another satisfying, action packed story.
