About this ebook

‘Fear the north wind. Because no one will hear you scream...’

A family is gunned down in the snow but one of the children survives. Three years on, that child takes revenge and the Snow Killer is born. But then, nothing - no further crimes are committed, and the case goes cold.

Fifty years later, has the urge to kill been reawakened? As murder follows murder, the detective team tasked with solving the crimes struggle with the lack of leads. It’s a race against time and the weather – each time it snows another person dies.

As an exhausted and grizzled DI Barton and his team scrabble to put the pieces of the puzzle together, the killer is hiding in plain sight. Meanwhile, the murders continue...

The first in a new series, Ross Greenwood has written a cracking, crackling crime story with a twist in its tale which will surprise even the most hardened thriller readers. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Stuart MacBride.

DI Barton is dealing with his hardest case to date. After being temporarily promoted to DCI, he's finding it hard to stay at his desk when there's nothing more he wants than to be out on the streets again. He may come to regret those thoughts. Ellen Toole is a woman literally on the edge. Suffering from mental illness, she has just lost her mother, discovered her mother and older sister have been lying to her about her father who's been missing from her life since she was a young age. It starts with a kidnapping, followed by two dead bodies ... then 3 more dead bodies .... There's a murderer on the loose ... how many more will die before being stopped? This is DI Barton's last act .... no more books to follow that feature Barton and his team. This was an intricate plot filled with well-known characters, unless you're new to the series. I enjoyed the mix of personal and professional of the team. There are some shockers along the way ... a few twists and turns ... and a surprising conclusion. Many thanks to the author / Boldwood Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
