The private eye goes back to school to catch a killer in the series that "breathes new life into the PI novel [with a] rare combination of humor and depth" (Mystery Scene).

When a college student is accused of killing his girlfriend, his distraught parents hire private detective Nathaniel Singer to clear his name. Could there be evidence that was overlooked by the police? Unraveling the story of the girl's last days, Singer discovers that her quiet college campus hides a nest of rivalries and intrigues. It turns out that the girl who seemed to be admired by all had plenty of enemies. Now Singer finds himself up against a clever killer, and someone's about to get a lesson in life and death.

Fast, violent, and funny, Cold Trail Blues is Raymond Miller's second Nathaniel Singer novel—the return of a writer bestselling author Lee Child calls a "great new talent," and of a character Kirkus Reviews calls "a welcome addition to the ranks of hard-boiled private eyes with a softer side."
