About this ebook

From the internationally bestselling author of The Bronze Horseman, the tale of an Ivy League campus devastated by the intractable mystery at the heart of a student’s death

Four students and their relationships lie at the core of this dazzling novel of mystery, murder and suspense, set in a snowbound Ivy League college. Their focal point is brilliant basketball star Kristina Kim – apparently happy and stable, but soon revealed to have hidden secrets.

When she is found dead in the snow, it falls to local detective Spencer O’Malley, a man who had half fallen in love with her, to investigate the crime. The spotlight falls on her three closest friends... and a story as gothic and intense as a modern-day Wuthering Heights begins to unravel.

Ratings and reviews

The first chapter aside I found this hard to put down. Spencer Patrick OMalleys character gives definition. The storyteller creates tension well throughout. Modern style.
