The Dam at Hiramatsu

Time to die, Simon Aulus.

It's been five years since the terrible events in Thorston drove Simon Aulus out of the police. Five years to rebuild his life after running as far away as he could. Now manager of a business intelligence firm in Tokyo, he's just about stable again.

All that will change when he gets a call from a corporate client: her son has gone missing while hiking in the mountains of rural Japan. At first, he doesn't think he can help; he's not a policeman anymore, and in this country never was.

But the trail leads to Hiramatsu Lake, where four young people are trapped by the cold and angry dead. Aulus will have to face his past and use what he has learned, or his fate will be worse than death....
