Dead of Winter by Gerri Brightwell

Dead of Winter by Gerri Brightwell

Dead of Winter is a fast-paced darkly funny crime novel that follows down-on-his-luck Alaskan cabbie, Mike Fisher, as he tries to save his daughter from an incompetent but determined local militia.

Brightwell uses the present tense, third person but from Fisher’s perspective throughout, skilfully taking an initially unappealing protagonist and building interest in the outcomeThe constraints of a small and isolated community at what feels like the edge of civilisation form a powerful backdrop to the story of a very ordinary man fighting for his life.
