Red Snow
The 2010 Winter Olympics are coming to Vancouver, and Mephisto is
ready to strike. Of all the villains lawyer Michael Slade has created based on his experience in more than one hundred real-life
murder cases, Mephisto is the maddest. ("Slade knows psychos inside
out." — Toronto Star) A raging winter storm and a team of
mercenaries have cut Whistler Mountain off from the rest of the world.
Bent on bloody revenge, Mephisto attacks the members of Special X — the
psycho hunters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police — and that's just the
start of his horrific plan. Red Snow is a three-ring circus of
mystery, horror, and suspense. It has everything: whodunits and
impossible crimes, psychological terror and police procedure. Let the
games begin!
