MIGHT ONLY LEAD...
A man's body is found hanging from a tree near a local school. The man is bleeding from the head, still alive, but not for long. Someone wanted Professor Simon Classon to suffer as much as possible before he died, making sure the victim had a good view of his colleagues and students on campus. Meanwhile, the professor succumbed to a slow-acting poison in his veins...

INTO DARK PLACES...
The freezing temperatures and freezing snowfalls only make the investigation more difficult. And then the death threats begin - unsettling incidents to send Claire a deadly message. Now, as she moves closer to the truth, she risks entangling herself in the maniac's web and her own crazy nightmares.
