Four thieves break into Eddie Johnson's home expecting an easy score. They believe they're stealing drug money. They believe no one will get hurt. They are wrong. What begins as a calculated home invasion quickly spirals into a chain reaction of violence, deception, and deadly consequences. As the body count rises and the true stakes come into focus, detectives Quinn and Bondurant are pulled into an investigation that grows darker and more dangerous with every lead. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that this was never a simple robbery-it was the spark that ignited something far more explosive. In Cold Moon Rising, loyalties are tested, assumptions unravel, and no one walks away untouched. With relentless pacing and sharp, character-driven tension, this debut thriller explores what happens when greed, power, and desperation collide-and how quickly control can slip into chaos.
