One of this country's finest crime writers, the Daily Mail, praised the book as "concluding with a glorious twist." The Times also praised it as a "high wire balancing act," but MacBride never faltered. Scotland on Sunday called it "the unputdownable, unmissable new thriller from the number one bestselling author."

It was supposed to be an easy job. Detective Constable Edward Reekie had to pick up a dying prisoner from HMP Grampian and deliver him somewhere to live out his last few months in peace.

From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy, snow-dusted village nestled deep in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew because Glenfarach is the final sanctuary for people who have served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population.

Edward's new boss, DI Victoria Montgomery-Porter, insists they head back to Aberdeen before the approaching blizzards shut everything down, but when an ex-cop-turned-gangster is discovered tortured to death in his bungalow, someone needs to take charge.

The weather is closing in, tensions are mounting, and time is running out - something nasty has come to Glenfarach, and Edward is standing right in its way.

Stuart MacBride is a master of crime fiction, and this book is a testament to his talent. With its creepy settings, dark humor, horror, and violence, it is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
