Learn moreNina Granville believes her business trip to Alaska will give her a short respite from the merry-go-round that came with her engagement to Congressman Terrence Donnelly. But instead of allowing her the peace she craves, Nina’s getaway from the public eye means that no one witnesses her abduction into a very cold hell.
Taken by a mountain man who calls himself Baer and then transported to a remote cabin surrounded by nothing but frozen wilderness, Nina descends into a nightmare of terror, privation, and bitter cold. Nina’s privileged life did not prepare her for imprisonment at the hands of this survivalist trapper. If she is to live—and to escape—Nina realizes she must do it on her own.
Undaunted and with startling determination, Nina pits herself against her captor, her fear, and nature itself in a battle for her life—but can she win against such deadly opponents?
Alan Russell is the bestselling author of the acclaimed novels Burning Man, Guardians of the Night, St. Nick, Shame, and Multiple Wounds. “He has a gift for dialogue,” raves the New York Times, while the Boston Globe calls his work “complex and genuinely suspenseful” and Publishers Weekly declared him to be “one of the best writers in the mystery field today.” His books have earned him a Lefty Award for best comedic mystery, a USA Today Critics’ Choice Award, two San Diego Book Awards for best mystery novel, and the Odin Award for Lifetime Achievement from the San Diego Writers/Editors Guild. A California native, Russell still resides in the Golden State with his wife and three children.
Reviews
“This unusual thriller offers a fascinating look at survivalists and the wilderness of our fiftieth state as well as being a truly gripping page-turner in the manner of Tim Johnston’s Descent (2015).” —Booklist
“Russell (Political Suicide, 2003, etc.) handles Nina's kidnapping, imprisonment, and painfully growing resolve with matter-of-fact mastery.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[A] searing thriller…Nina’s transformation from victim to avenger is painful to watch, but it’s brutally convincing.” —Publishers Weekly
