New York, Christmas 1984.

A city in crisis, two lives at stake.

Philip Sanders has a perfect life and a perfect wife. Independent and ambitious, Ellie is his compass and his destination all in one. She is the mother of funny, loving, adorable four-year-old Chris.

Then she is gone, killed in a horrific accident.

Philip moves back to his old haunts in New York with his son, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, he finds a new, more merciless city, ravaged by crime and drugs. Philip starts to feel that danger stalks them every day. Then he understands that someone is orchestrating that danger...

Now Philip can't stop asking questions. And some of the answers take him back to his wife's death.

Did it happen as he thought? As he was told?

Did it happen at all?

Can you ever really know someone?

Philip is lost in a maelstrom of secrets, greed and malice. He stands at the edge of an abyss, hoping salvation lies on the other side.

Snow Fall is a rollercoaster emotional journey into the heart of someone you love, through the labyrinths of a great, changing city. First volume in the New York Quartet.
