Winter's Gifts
A brand new stand-alone novella in the bestselling Rivers of London series!
Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionImmerse yourself in a chilling new adventure with Winter's Gifts by Ben Aaronovitch, a gripping novella that combines thrilling supernatural elements with noir detective fiction. When ex-FBI Agent Patrick Henderson reports an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator's confusion is palpable. The cryptic nature of the code means it gets escalated up the chain of command until it lands on the desk of FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds.
Reynolds is dispatched to a snowbound Northern Wisconsin, only to find a town devastated by a tornado with no trace of Henderson. As she delves deeper into the mysterious circumstances, the situation spirals into something far more sinister. Neighbours recount disturbing sightings, critical evidence disappears, and the relentless snowfall isolates the town completely, trapping everyone within its icy grip.
The trail of clues leads Reynolds into a historical enigma, uncovering a cursed expedition that ventured into the frozen wilderness long ago. This ancient horror, interwoven with American history, unravels a story of untold nightmares and a legacy that continues to haunt the present.
