What you need to know before your trail

Marlene Wegener is on the run.

She has stolen something from her husband, something priceless, irreplaceable.

But she doesn’t get very far. When her car veers off a bleak midwinter road she takes refuge in the remote home of Simon Keller, a tough mountain man who lives alone with his demons. Here in her high mountain sanctuary, she begins to rekindle a sense of herself: tough, capable, no longer the trophy on a gangster’s arm.

But Herr Wegener does not know how to forgive, and in his rage he makes a pact with the devil.

The Trusted Man. He cannot be called off, he cannot be reasoned with and one way or another he will get the job done.

Unless, of course, he’s beaten to it . . .

Travel Guide

Careful in those mountains

If like Marlene, you’ve stolen something from your gangster husband, you would probably run somewhere remote. The snowy remote mountains are ideal and so off she goes. But who and what else is there?

A cabin in the woods. Seemingly unlived in. Perfect place to hide out. Except there’s someone there. Simon, a recluse, who owns the dwelling. Can she stay here with someone she doesn’t know? It would be the perfect place to hide. No one would think of looking for her here….Maybe that’s the problem…

The wild, raw forest is the ideal place to mix in a little horror, blended with local legends, religious stories from the bible and those dark Grimms Fairy Tales….

And what ever you do, don’t go into that cellar…
