LIBRARY JOURNAL -- An expert atlocating missing persons, Dan Kerr is called in by Mr. Warren to find his
daughter Alyssa and her daughter Grace. Dan agrees, particularly after
discovering Grace is the offspring he never knew was his. The trail eventually
leads him to remote Quarrels Island just as an out-of-season, chilling cold
descends on the surrounding area; one shop owner is found frozen solid in his
office after helping direct Dan. Finally reaching the mysterious locale and
making it past a folk shrine of discarded toys and handwritten notes, our
protagonist is picked up by a patrol and taken to the gilded Quarrel family
mansion housing Alyssa and her child. Eventually, Dan uncovers the shocking
truth: undead spirits are drawn to semicatatonic Grace like ghostly moths to a
living flame, and the Quarrels, who possess a sinister motive behind their aid,
have no intention of letting anyone leave until Grace has completed a task
involving the dank tombs of their family
crypt.
VERDICT Writer Bunn
(Harrow County) and artist Torres ( Judge Dredd) slowly freeze readers' fears
with a compellingly frightening tale of ghosts and family secrets under an
entertaining narrative that ultimately reaches a temperature of true
zero.-Douglas Rednour, Georgia State Univ. Libs.,
