Prepare for edge-of-your-seat suspense in this Thriller Short.

Originally published in THRILLER 2 (2009),
edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler.

In this chilling Thriller Short, bestselling author Carla Neggers reveals a life-and-death struggle where Mother Nature is as dangerous as a gun in the back. When an armed fugitive confronts Gus Winter on an isolated trail in the unforgiving mountains of New Hampshire, he has no choice but to cooperate. He soon realizes it wasn’t just bad luck that the man with the gun found him. The fugitive had lain in wait, targeting him. And why had he been ordered to lead the way to where his brother and sister-in-law froze to death thirty years earlier? What was the fugitive after? To find out, Gus has to rely on his wit and knowledge of the mountain to survive both the elements and a killer on the run.

Good story, just wish it were longer. I bought it because it was about some characters I had read about in another of her books, but I didn't notice it was only about 20 pages and I paid $1.99 for it. A bit expensive for such a short story. I think 0.99 cents would be more reasonable.

How much did I pay for this 5 minute read?? How absurd to even offer it. Someone should be ashamed.
