From the author of the #1 Bestselling Audible Thriller of the Year comes a terrifying high stakes hunt to the death...
It is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year.
When a New York Senator is chosen as an assassination target by Colosseum, the chilling online game, she faces a terrible choice; to run or to hide.
No-where is safe. No-one can be trusted.
But just when the Senator’s brutal death seems inevitable, a young agent arrives from London to protect her. Now Winter is all that stands between the Senator and Colosseum's deadly hunt. As dawn creeps in, time is running out for Winter to unravel the mystery at the heart of this sinister game: who is the shadowy head of Colosseum, and what is his ultimate purpose?
It is darkest before the dawn.
As Winter and the Senator journey together into the dark heart of the longest night, they soon discover that nothing about Colosseum is what it seems. There are rules, and there is a purpose, if only they can solve the riddle in time. Colosseum is more than a hunt: it’s a challenge.
Targets must face their darkest fear, or die at dawn.
Praise for The Winter Series
‘perfect for fans of le Carré, Fleming and those looking to start a riveting new thriller series’. – Audiofile magazine
‘There is a new kid on the block – the love child of Jack Reacher and Lisabeth Slander....she can out-punch Bourne and out-pull Bond. – Andy Martin, author of Reacher Said Nothing
‘gripping and compulsive’ – The Book Doctor
‘Wow! Double wow!! Triple wow!!!... This book definitely gets a place in my top for 2020…. If this is what Winter is like, I don't like the other seasons anymore.’ B for Book Review, 5 stars
‘A clever, original spy thriller…Winter Dark is a gripping, pacy and highly original thriller. Highly recommended.’ Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars
‘That is how you write an action thriller. The pace is relentless. This is pure action… I highly recommend this for action junkies and anyone who likes a tense thriller.’ Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars
‘Heart-pounding danger with a female James Bond. Total adrenaline fest! The writing is top-notch and I would put Callister's action series against the best in the genre — Jack Ryan, move over!’ Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars
'Callister's experience as a City analyst of tech companies has alerted her to the dark side of the information revolution. “The internet has facilitated the maximum realisation of human nature,” she says. And she is not talking about random acts of kindness or a fondness for cat videos. “If you want to do weird stuff, no matter how extreme, then the internet can connect you to someone in New Zealand (or wherever) who wants it too. These are people who should never meet.' The novels are dystopian adventures in the surveillance society, featuring what she calls “toxic femininity”.... It’s probably the most direct riposte to Harvey Weinstein yet.' The Independent
