Somehow revealing the cover for Polar Night in the dead of Winter seems appropriate

Book Blurb: When Detective Danny Fitzpatrick leaves his hometown of Chicago and moves to Fairbanks, Alaska he wants nothing more than to escape the violence and heartbreak that left his life in pieces. Numbed by alcohol and the frozen temperatures of an Alaskan winter, Danny is content with a dead-end job investigating Fairbanks' cold cases. That all changes when a pretty blond woman goes missing on the winter solstice, and Danny stumbles upon some surprising connections between her disappearance and that of another Fairbanks woman three years earlier. Forced out of his lethargy, Danny sets out to both find the missing woman and solve his own cold case.

The investigation points Danny towards Aleksei Nechayev, the handsome and charming proprietor of an old asylum turned haunted tourist attraction in the Arctic town of Coldfoot. As he tries to find a link between Nechayev and his case, Danny's instinct tells him that Nechayev is much more than what he seems.

Danny has no idea that Nechayev is hiding a secret that is much more horrifying than anything he could ever have imagined. As his obsession with finding the missing women grows, Danny finds his own life in danger. And when the truth is finally revealed, the world as he knows it will never be the same.

  17. Sounds like an icy thriller with a matching cover...

    Michael, thanks for the offer to mail me a copy of Slipstream. I may just take you up on the generous offer, simply because I've had hassles with Amazon. If you're outside the US or UK, then Amazon can be quite a painful experience... or maybe it's just me... *shrugs*
    To cut a long story short, I signed up with Amazon, then got a Paypal account which, according to my limited tech understanding, cannot be used to purchase from Amazon, because Paypal belongs to e-Bay and Amazon and e-Bay are rivals... blah, blah, blah... end of story... *sighs*
