Summary

Winter returns to face the most feared hitman of all time, the Guardsman.

Winter has put the world of organised crime into crisis by unmasking its boss, Alek Konstantin. Hunted and permanently on the run, he has been caught on camera in Mexico, Virginia and Marseille. Retracing his steps, Winter attempts to uncover his motives and bring the world's most wanted man out of hiding using the tracker he embedded in her wrist. But things aren't quite that simple. After finding Lucy and watching her die a sickening death, Winter's desire to bring down the legendary Guardsman overrides her orders. Knowing Firestorm’s top contract killer is experimenting on victims, she takes a contract out on herself to catch him.

Once again disguised as her alter ego, Snow White, Winter follows the Guardsman to Moscow expecting to spring the trap. However, things aren't quite what they seem. Who is the Guardsman and why does he know everything about Winter? With the reality of the situation unravelling as the world’s leaders assemble in London, just how much has Winter underestimated her opponent and is the realisation all too late?

Winter faces her biggest challenge yet in this dark commentary on our surveillance society.

Praise for Winter from listeners of Winter Dark


Winter is a vivid character with a daring, wild attitude - a heroine who breaks the stereotype of government spies and action heroes. I could almost picture her and and Jack Reacher meeting in a dark alley, knowing Winter would give him a run for his money.
- CarolC

So unusual to have a good, strong, female lead character and in Winter Dark we finally have one.
– twolittletinkers

Winter is the perfect protagonist mixing Lara Croft/Jason Bourne

Critic reviews

"If you like Becky Sharp or Emma Peel or Lisbeth Salander, you will love Winter: she can out-punch Bourne and out-pull Bond. And her zinging one-liners leave Jack Reacher for dead." (Andy Martin, author of Reacher Said Nothing and With Child.

Absolutely loved Winter Rising

Second instalment of Winters professional-escapades and complications between duty and love plus her tenacious personality gets her into so many sticky situations again.
Love the twists and turns and those who could the evil insiders be.

Another corker

Loved it.
The characters and the build up and the tension and the kick ass bits. All gold. Winter annoyed me, slightly more aloof than credible. But I love her.

Great performance

Great performance makes the story exciting. I was just really irritated that the maths was wrong towards the end. Can’t say too much as don’t want to give the plot away.
Really enjoyable though and I look forward to the next book.
