More About The Product
The sort of thriller that is a 'page-turner' and 'hard to put down'. It is easy to laugh at these clich s of the blurb writer's lowly art, but what do you say about a book that keeps you turning the pages and proves impossible to put down? The point about such clich s is not that they register a failure of imagination but that they state the obvious with precision and verbal economy. Here a light aircraft crashes in a storm, the pilot is killed, and the solitary passenger finds himself lost in a frozen wilderness. Then he discovers a remote cabin and the terror begins. Even the plot piles clich on top of clich , but if it didn't the suspense would be lost and the tension that every thriller writer must crank up would vanish.
