About this audiobook

'In the top flight of crime writing' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
In the dead of winter, even brothers become strangers...
A CHILLING WINTER THRILLER PERFECT FOR FANS OF FARGO
*FROM AN AWARD-WINNING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*

Running from a troubled childhood, Jack Devereaux left home as soon as he could and never looked back - until the day a stranger calls, begging him to return to his hometown of Jasperville, Quebec.

Jack's brother Calvis - the little boy he left behind more than twenty years ago - has viciously attacked a man and left him for dead. Nobody knows why he did it, though Jack suspects it has something to do with the Jasperville girls who were lost all those years ago.

But as he begins the long journey home through the frozen, unforgiving landscape, Jack isn't wondering why his little brother lost his mind. He's wondering why it took so long . . .
