Snow Falls, Alaska is small, quiet, and easy to forget—until the governor decides no one gets in or out.

When acting chief Sarah Spencer learns a notorious killer's heir has set his sights on her, the town is abruptly sealed: state police roadblocks, disabled cell service, and a storm moving in like a lid slammed on a coffin. Sarah's officers are sick. Backup is a fantasy. And the killer knows exactly how to use isolation as a weapon.

Bethany Lights should stay locked in her cabin. Instead, she arms up and drives straight into town, because she knows what Sarah won't say out loud: this is the final stage of a long hunt, and the hunter has been planning it for years.

From the station to the coffee shop, from whispered strategy to sudden hostage threats, every hour becomes a contest of nerves. The enemy doesn't need an army—he has weather, politics, and fear on his side. And as the snow deepens, Bethany and Sarah realize the next move could decide who sees morning.
