Red Snow

In this "mind-bender" about a psychopath seeking revenge "the plot yanks you compulsively toward its solution, and the shocks make you jerk back in fright" (Toronto Star).

The Winter Olympics are coming to western Canada, but the mood is far from celebratory when a snowboarder is murdered on the slopes, his corpse mutilated. And he's only the first athlete to suffer a grisly end. Soon, a raging winter storm and a deranged killer's team of mercenaries has cut Whistler Mountain off from the rest of the world.

It's a whodunit especially suited to the Special X team, which specializes in psychopathic behavior. Except an old enemy is targeting team commander Robert DeClercq. Bent on bloody revenge, Mephisto has elaborate plan that includes assassinating anyone connected with the Canadian Mountie. And that's just the start of this megalomaniac's horrific doomsday scheme . . .
