Splintered Ice

A powerful, fast-moving thriller from Stuart G Yates. A couple of schoolkids winding each other up; a wife and mother running off with another man; an accident in a river causing the overnight transformation of poor beleaguered Jed into a temporary hero; then the welcome turning up of a long-lost brother.... A nice enough variety of incidents contained in what would appear to be a relatively innocuous start to a nice, light easy read one might think,but no! This is violent romp into a dark, murderous world. Jed is tough, but he is not that tough, and now he is being frame for a murder he did not commit. The guy he saved from drowning knows too much about everything, and as Jed tries to unravel the mystery his life implodes. Soon, he not only has to worry about those around him, but his own life too. The drugs and the hypnosis are working a little too well, and Jed hasn't a single clue how to get away.
