About This Book

In this "mind-bender" about a psychopath seeking revenge "the plot yanks you compulsively toward its solution, and the shocks make you jerk back in fright" (Toronto Star).

 


The Winter Olympics are coming to western Canada, but the mood is far from celebratory when a snowboarder is murdered on the slopes, his corpse mutilated. And he's only the first athlete to suffer a grisly end. Soon, a raging winter storm and a deranged killer's team of mercenaries has cut Whistler Mountain off from the rest of the world.


 


It's a whodunit especially suited to the Special X team, which specializes in psychopathic behavior. Except an old enemy is targeting team commander Robert DeClercq. Bent on bloody revenge, Mephisto has elaborate plan that includes assassinating anyone connected with the Canadian Mountie. And that's just the start of this megalomaniac's horrific doomsday scheme . . . 


 


Let the games begin!


 


"As always with Slade, a cracking good detective story." —Anne Perry, New York Times–bestselling author of the Thomas Pitt series


 


"Red Snow is crisply written, sly and exciting. Michael Slade is a writer who clearly knows how to tell a story and make it real." —Robert McCammon, New York Times–bestselling author of Swan Song and the Matthew Corbett series


 


"Red snow indeed! This one is guaranteed to keep you awake with the lights burning." —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)


 


"In the annals of dark fiction, Canada can claim one true champion in Michael Slade. . . . The plot yanks you compulsively toward its solution, and the shocks make you jerk back in fright." —Toronto Star

 


"Very good twists, and a great villain. Mephisto, who seems to have attained a new level of insanity, is the kind of homicidal maniac you can't take your eyes off. The writing is tight and compelling." —Winnipeg Free Press
