They made it to the cabin. Now they have to hold it.
The grid has been down for weeks. The roads are gone. And Ben is barely alive.
Vera got her children to the Adirondacks. She kept her promise. But her son's insulin is almost gone, someone has been watching the cabin from the tree line since before they arrived, and twelve miles south, a man named Garrett Hoyle is building something that looks like order and isn't.
She's spent years learning to read dangerous men. She knows what it looks like when someone is being reasonable right up until they aren't.
Hoyle's people are organized. Patient. And they've already started mapping who has what — and how long it will take to come for it.
With winter deepening and supplies running out, Vera has to decide how much she trusts the man sleeping in the next room, what she's willing to do to protect her children, and whether the hardest threat to survive is the one standing at her door — or the one she let inside.
The cold isn't done with them yet.
Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Franklin Horton, and Kyla Stone.
Genre: Mystery
