Utgivarens beskrivning
You can look for danger. And danger can look for you.
There’s something out there in the darkness.
By morning, bones lie in the snow, picked clean.
Zach knows the moods of the mountains – his mother taught him before she was gone. His father and the other men on the ski weekend think they know better though.
Drinking and boasting, they laugh in the face of the icy conditions.
But Zach understands what danger looks like. Can he survive the wilderness, and all the monsters within it?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This taut wilderness thriller from Sierra (Nightwatching) centers on Zach Fisher, a sensitive 12-year-old on a backcountry ski tour in the Colorado Rockies with his stern father, Bram, and a group of Bram's associates. What was once a father-son tradition organized by Zach's late mother, Grace, has since become a showcase for Bram to impress his business backers. Among the guests are Shane, the cocky son of a media mogul; Jon, a laid-back ski-film celebrity; Dave, a gregarious investor; Russ, Dave's blunt, awkward son; and Steve, the group's quiet guide. When Bram's assistant, Ginny, goes missing, the sharp-eyed Zach finds a jeweled earring tangled in kindling at the cabin—an early sign that all is not as it seems. Then a deadly avalanche strikes, and the discovery of a corpse, animal remains, and the earring's bloody twin fan paranoia among the guests, alluding to ugly truths about Bram and eroding trust among the survivors. When a second avalanche hits, Zach must find the strength to survive both the elements and his father's tightening grip. Sierra's vivid setting, well-shaded characters, and knack for suspense keep the pages turning, even if the narrative is somewhat padded. This is an icy delight.
