BOOKSIGNING: Karen Pullen signs Cold Feet

Author Karen Pullen will host a book launch party for her debut mystery novel, Cold Feet at McIntyre’s Fine Books located at 220 Market Street, Fearrington Village, Pittsboro, North Carolina, 27312.

Cold Feet, which was released February 6th, follows Special Agent Lavender who has a stressful, adrenaline-fueled job: buying drugs undercover from paranoid drug dealers. One afternoon she’s grateful to be relaxing at an elegant outdoor wedding. But, as the guests wait, then grow restive, the satin-clad bride is dying most horribly. Who would kill a bride—an “angel” according to the groom—just minutes before her nuptials? Joining the investigation, Stella discovers the bride’s surprising history and that jealousy, depression, and grief colored her relationships. In Cold Feet, Karen Pullen draws the reader into a riveting story that alternates between Stella’s life as a drug agent and her determination to untangle a complex knot of secrets, harmful emotions, and questions of identity in order to find Justine’s killer.
