Joe Pickett meets THE SHINING in this spine-tingling 1970s Wyoming mystery from USA Today bestselling author Pamela Fagan Hutchins.
A killer blizzard has hit tiny Buffalo, Wyoming, where Dr. Patrick Flint is trapped inside the hospital with his family, trying to save the life of a prominent local citizen. An injured drifter shows up at the door, and Patrick takes him in. When the power and communications go out that night, people start dying, and the drifter is nowhere to be found. Patrick is caught between his duty to his patient, his loyalty to his family, and his fear for all of their lives. With the storm still raging, will there be any survivors left in the hospital when help finally arrives?
"Best books I've read in a long time!"
"Patrick pulled out his pistol and pointed the barrel at the ground of the ravine, following the sounds of the barking and growling of his Irish wolfhound. He drew a deep breath and rounded the corner, ready for anything.
Or he thought he was ready for anything. A big animal. His dog caught in a trap. An out-of-season rattler. But what he found his dog guarding was something no one could ever truly be ready for.
A person. Beaten to a pulp. Unrecognizable. The blood, fresh. Possibly dead. No. No, no, no.
But wishing it were different didn't make it so."
