Snow is falling. Murder is calling. Pre-order the most gripping winter thriller of 2025!

Journalist Gordon Carver is given some news that terrifies him to the core. He’s hurrying home from the pub, calling his contact at the police, DCI James Walker, to tell him the news, when he’s hit over the head from behind.

But James missed the call. And Gordon Carver never wakes up from the brutal attack.

When James is called to the scene of the murder, he quickly realizes that he was the last call from Gordon’s phone. It’s up to James to figure out what crime Gordon wanted to discuss, and why someone would want to kill him.

But the killer has James in their sights. Can James find the killer, before the killer finds him?
