A Cold Case is the story of how Andy Rosenzweig, retired Manhattan cop, reopened an investigation into a double murder that had happened more than thirty years earlier. It bothered him that Frankie Koehler, the notoriously dangerous suspect, had eluded capture.

In a surprising, intensely dramatic narrative, Philip Gourevitch has transformed Rosenzweig’s crusade into a searing literary masterpiece, reckoning with the forces that drive one man to murder and another to hunt murderers.

Philip Gourevitch’s first novel, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories from Rwanda, won the Guardian First Book Award.
