Everything about the man is a mystery...
No one knows where he came from, how he made his money or what's drawn him to the isolated Black Hills of North Wyoming. His generosity has won the locals over, but are his motives above suspicion?
After a string of disappearances, Joe Pickett isn't the first investigator to pursue this enigmatic millionaire, but will he be the first to leave alive? With winter's first storm closing in, Joe's about to discover there's a stone-cold killer stalking the hills - and he's not alone.

Testo aggiuntivo
Certain crime writers rely on the ingenuity of their plots to exert a grip upon the reader, and certainly C.J. Box is among their number. But he has another even more impressive skill: an acute grasp of characterisation which means that the protagonists of his novels virtually leap off the page' The Good Book Guide.
