Suspense
An electrifying new novel of murder and menace from the New
York Times best-selling author of A Density of Souls. Atherton University, freshman year. Kathryn, Randall, and
Jesse come from different worlds, but find themselves
unexpectedly drawn together. For each of them, college
promises a bright future and a way to disconnect from a
dark, haunted past. But as winter sets in, their secret
histories threaten to disrupt the layers of deceit that
protect their fragile new lives. One dark night a professor's wife is drowned in an icy
river, and rumors of murder threaten the safe haven of
Atherton. Within days, Randall's illicit affair with the
professor is about to be revealed in the local press. Then,
an old mystery emerges from the shadows as people recall the
discovery of a co-ed's corpse in a frozen creek twenty years
before. Gradually, the three friends find themselves snared
in a web of lies, a web spun long before their days of
Atherton. Snowbound on the university campus, they are
unwitting captives of a malevolent force that drives them
inexorably toward the "snow garden" of the title-a place of
nightmares that is all too real, and all too near. Electrifying in its intensity, with a plot that accelerates
with every page, The Snow Garden is an unforgettable read-a
psychological thriller and a modern horror story that probes
the terrible weight of the past on the present and the
corrosive power of secrets. Christopher Rice proved himself
to be a remarkable talent with the best-selling A Density of
Souls. His stunning new novel will establish him as a master
of his craft. About the Author Christopher Rice is the son of Anne Rice,
the novelist, and Stan Rice, thepoet. He lives in Los
Angeles. The Snow Garden is his second novel.
