Publisher's Summary

The brand new novella in the Sunday Times #1 bestselling Rivers of London series.

****

THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE POND...

When ex-FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does.

That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Arriving snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town - and there's no sign of Henderson.

Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbours report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising - cutting off the town, with no way in or out...

As the clues lead to the coldest of cold cases - a cursed expedition into the frozen wilderness - Reynolds follows a trail from the start of the American nightmare, to the horror that still lives on today...

Great

This is a different voice and a slightly different perspective from the main Rivers of London series. Still great storytelling and adds further dimensions to this fictional world

Loved it

I loved this addition to the ROL series. Scooby-doo vibes with the storyline and appreciated the introduction of themes around indigenous culture and climate change.

Ingifts

Somewhat surprised to find out this was not another tale of thee Abteilung KDA but a case for Fbi agent Kimberly Reynolds on home soil.
Equally very entertaining and exciting, like all the other Rivers of London books.
Highly recommended.

A great spin off

While we are all awaiting the next Peter Grant story, this one has been an excellent distraction. Loved the story, the characters and the delivery.

Didn’t love the narrator

Story ok. Found the narrator grating ad not endearing to really want to support the character

genuine accents please

love the story and the characters but really wish it had been read by a genuine American voice actor. the other books in the RoL series were so excellently performed.

Mechanical sounding voice.

The story was brilliant but sadly at times the reader sounded automated and this made it a little difficult to listen.
