The description for the next book in Buzzetta’s series, “The Winter Verdict,” is as follows:

Tom Berte, a former Department of Justice lawyer, thought he’d left his past behind when he moved to Castle Ridge with his family. But when a brutal attack leaves him fighting for his life, Tom and his family find themselves at the epicenter of an unfolding conspiracy that stretches from the local ski resort to a desert compound on the other side of the world.

At the heart of the mystery is Phoenix Holdings Group, a shadowy international conglomerate with its sights set on Castle Ridge Ski Resort. When a catastrophic "accident" at the resort claims dozens of lives, Tom uncovers a chilling connection to his own assault and a ruthless plot that could endanger millions.

With his wife and daughter's lives hanging in the balance, Tom must navigate a treacherous path of legal intrigue, corporate espionage, and looming revenge.

A heart-pounding legal thriller ―where the pursuit of justice is as precarious as a black diamond run — “The Winter Verdict” delivers thrills, chills, and pulse-quickening suspense. Buzzetta brings the heat in this high-stakes, high-intensity, high-octane thriller.

Published by Severn River Publishing, “The Winter Verdict” will be released in trade paper (ISBN: 978-1648757570, 286 pages, $17.99), eBook (B0DXQQP5L6, $5.99) and audiobook editions on Tuesday.
