This secluded house is the last place anyone will think to look for high-profile author Colette Halifax, which is perfect as she hides from a looming scandal. Unfortunately, someone here is threatening to ruin the one part of her life that isn't already a shambles. Meanwhile, Maia McKenzie has plans that don't involve writing at all. She's schemed to ensure the one person she wants to see is here - the man who almost killed her mother. All have a secret. All will do anything to keep it hidden. And they're not alone. The retreat is perched on the edge of a forest steeped in the horrors of Australia's worst serial killer - and no one knows just who is watching. When a storm unleashes its fury and they're trapped, a body is left in the snow ... and any one of them could be next. PRAISE:'Gilchrist hooked me good and proper. Creepy closed-in setting?

Strap yourself in for a thrilling ride.' - Cassie Hamer, author of The Stranger at the Table'Deviously clever and wickedly sharp - this is one writer's retreat you'll be glad you only visited on the page.' - Kylie Orr, Australian author of The Eleventh Floor
