The Winter Man: You can't escape your past
What happens when a man whose buried demons are unleashed by an act of unimaginable horror?
The Winter Man is the story of Blake, a father and cutting edge programmer whose search for his missing past has driven him to build software that now threatens the elites. When his adopted daughter, Sara, is kidnapped and killed by traffickers, he is left with a choice; freedom from the unbearable pain by taking his own life or catharsis in revenge. He chooses the latter and driven by the nihilistic beliefs of a man who has suffered similarly and accompanied by a demon whose purpose remains unknown, he descends into a criminal underworld and risks becoming the very thing he seeks to destroy.
Perry Bhandal is a novelist, director, writer, and producer. His films include Interview with a Hitman and The Last Boy.

I love this book. On the very first chapter I’ve felt like I could see it as a movie of some kind. The action packed scenes, the plot, and the characters are amazing!!! I especially loved the writing, it’s simple, clear, and unique. Definitely recommend. Thank you for reading this review

What I've read is a movie written in a book. The chapters and details of the scenes and the action filling those scenes is thrilling and ultimately amusing, usually most action scenes are boring or distracting but I didn't feel such feelings towards this book. I really loved it.
