Cold Storage

‘Gruesome, terrifying, pulse-pounding’ Stephen King Shortlisted for the CWA Steel Dagger Award for Best Thriller of the Year

‘Pure, unadulterated entertainment’ New York Times

When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction.

Now, after decades of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. And only Diaz knows how to stop it.

He races across the country to help two unwitting security guards – one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again … before it’s too late.

For fans of Dean Koontz, Stephen King and smart, entertaining sci-fi
