Anticipating a treacherous Maine ice storm, military man Gabriel McQueen arrives home on leave just in time to rescue high school nemesis Lolly Helton from the impending weather, along with two meth addicts who have taken her hostage. New York Times best-selling author Howard's follow-up to Burn (2009) is another intense stand-alone thriller that takes listeners on a wild ride and doesn't let up until the end. Expertly read by Fred Sanders (Born To Run), it will appeal to Howard's fans and to fans of Julie Garwood, Iris Johansen, Tami Hoag, and Jillian Hoffman. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 7/09.-Ed.]--Nicole A.
