A Small-Town Sheriff Confronts The Worst Violence That Man And Nature Possess
Bruner, Wisconsin, is really two different towns. On
one side are the magnificent summer estates of
wealthy families who value their privacy and privilege
above all else. A few miles away, but a world apart, are
the homes of the working men and women who cook,
clean, and tend to the needs of the summer visitors.
It’s a place of staggering natural beauty, but where
death can come unexpectedly and with no regard for
a person’s bank account or family tree. A place of
steadfast loyalties and friendships, but where the long
and brutal winter can make even the most intimate
friends turn on each other with frightening intensity.
This is the place where Sheriff Paul Summers finds
himself grasping for answers when the wild,
unpredictable woman who captured his heart years
ago is discovered brutally and spectacularly murdered
inside her family’s snowbound estate. As the last
person to see her alive, and given his complicated
history with the victim, Paul is not only lead
investigator on the case but, in the eyes of many in
Bruner, the prime suspect in her killing. Battling rumors
of an evil cult’s being formed just outside of town, the disappearance of another citizen,
and a wife whose grasp of reality is quickly slipping away, Paul must race to find the true guilty party before a massive winter storm leaves them all cut off from the outside world and at the
mercy of a remorseless killer.
As the approaching storm gathers in intensity, so do the twists and turns that bring Paul ever closer to unraveling the big secrets that haunt this small town. In a stunning conclusion, Paul witnesses firsthand the startling power and beauty of heaven’s fury.
