Ben Cassidy has strict instructions from his mother, Cass, never to return to his childhood home of Darnshaw. But when an old friend dies, he returns to investigate a computer game she was playing named Acheron. Acheron claims it will give you all that you ask for, something Gaila, Ben's sister, knows all too well. But there is a price, and hers is to get Ben to London. As Ben and his friends delve ever deeper into the world of Acheron, good motivations and morality begin to slip, and they find themselves falling further into corruption. Ben and Gaila could save them all, but the price for doing so might just be too high to pay...

Reviews for Cold Silence (#2 Cold)

Like Alison Littlewood's earlier books this one is well paced and fast moving and keeps the reader guessing * Spectral Times * Ben Cassidy proves himself a worthwhile protagonist as he seeks to defend his family, and the story builds nicely to a climactiv final reveal . . . a satisfying return to the world of A Cold Season * Sci-Fi Bulletin * The writing is great, there are surprises and shocks and this book still delivers the chills * Blue Book Balloon * I give A Cold Silence a big 666/666 * Horror Hothouse *
