Why a Booktrail?
2000s: A story of how the mind responds to solitary confinement.
Silent Winter
What you need to know before your trail
On an icy November night, Drew Blackmore is beaten unconscious and abducted. He wakes to find himself in total darkness, naked and chained to the floor.
Fed just enough to keep him alive, Drew is unable to identify his captor, or the reason for his incarceration. As reality fades, hallucinations take over. Can Drew escape his prison before madness claims him?
Meanwhile, Drew’s wife, Holly, despairing of ever seeing him again, turns to his brother for comfort. As dark family secrets come to light, Holly wonders whether she ever really knew her husband. Could his disappearance be connected with that of a prostitute years before?

Visit Bristol during winter – Silent Winter
There are only three locations in this book – Hell,Hospital and Home – which are also the sections of the book. The locations are vague and dark – well one is a room in pitch black for a start.
Whilst character driven this novel doesn’t look or include any real mention of Bristol apart from the hospitals. What it does do however is to look at what it means and what it might involve being in solitary confinement.
The surroundings in this story are gory and unsettling – you wouldn’t want to visit them for real even if you could.
