Freddo

by John Smolens, K. De Marco (Traduttore)

Michigan, durante un inverno glaciale. Nel corso di una fitta nevicata, un uomo raggiunge una piccola, sonnacchiosa cittadina rurale. Di lui, a parte il nome, non si sa praticamente nulla. Eppure, a poco a poco, in maniera quasi subliminale, la sua presenza mette in allarme gli abitanti del luogo. Perché l'uomo è depositario di un segreto terribile e, forse, è in cerca di vendetta.
