About this ebook
The brand new novella in the Sunday Times #1 bestselling Rivers of London series.
****
THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE POND...
When ex-FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does.
That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Arriving snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town - and there's no sign of Henderson.
Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbours report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising - cutting off the town, with no way in or out...
As the clues lead to the coldest of cold cases - a cursed expedition into the frozen wilderness - Reynolds follows a trail from the start of the American nightmare, to the horror that still lives on today...

As usual, it could be argued that it's too short, but also as usual it's non-stop action with very little padding. Agent Reynolds makes a good and believable hero and proves herself human: go Kimberly!

Quirky. Kim is a buoyant character. The book was too short. I was waiting for more Native American magic, ritual

Another very enjoyable story in a series of crime solving with a supernatural side.
