Dead Winter

DEAD WINTER — a Hollow Falls thriller A record blizzard seals off the small town of Hollow Falls. Roads impassable. Power failing. Cell towers dead. Three people are dead, and the killer is still inside the lockdown. Nora Bell wakes locked in a frozen cellar with no memory of how she got there — a hostage who can't trust a single second of her own mind. Chief Hal Pryce hunts a killer through the storm, closing in on a woman in a blue coat who leaves bodies in her wake. As the night deepens, their stories pull toward each other like two ends of a rope — until you realize they've been one thread all along. They're the same person. One body, two minds — and a third that only comes out in the dark. As the bodies pile up and the town closes in, Nora must face the part of herself that was born in the flames, the part that wears her father's face. The only way out is through. And what walks out of the fire may not be the girl they thought they were saving. Dark, twist-laden, and unsettling to the final line, Dead Winter is a psychological thriller about the things a town won't look at — and the monster that learns to look like healing.
