ONE BY ONE

The sense of dread deepens as the snow falls in this alpine thriller with a dot com buyout at steak and chilling modern dialogue. Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine. The shareholders and directors of music app Snoop gather for a make-or-break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar buy-out that could make them all millionaires, or leave some of them out in the cold. The clock is ticking on the offer, and with the group irrevocably split, tensions are running high. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help, and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask - would someone resort to murder, to get what they want? 'Ingenious plotting sees the body count rise and multiple suspects eliminated until we are left with a breathless game of cat-and-mouse.' - Erin Kelly. 376pp, paperback.
