On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman and child in a remote gold mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins; and not a single bone was ever found. One hundred thirteen years later, two backcountry guides are hired by a history professor and his journalist daughter to lead them into the abandoned mining town so that they can learn what happened. With them is a psychic, and a paranormal photographer—as the town is rumored to be haunted. A party that tried to explore the town years ago was never heard from again. What this crew is about to discover is that twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they are not alone, and the past is very much alive. Reader’s Rock: I love books that keep you guessing til the very last page. This is one of them. If you enjoy gritty, complicated plots and ingenious plot devices, this is a book you can really sink your teeth into. I loved the way that past events were woven into the present story and how the action gripped me and refused to let go into the wee hours of morning. I’m a little mild mannered when it comes to language and such, but the story was so good I had to keep reading.
