Description
A startling debut noir. A Trail of Blood on the Snow is a chilling exploration of masculinity, madness, and the harrowing legacy of abuse.
"He remembers me. He remembers the screaming and the blood on the snow. He remembers everything, I can tell."
Rex is 41. Halfway to death and no happier for it. Any promise of a better life got stifled decades ago, when Rex was a limping school kid and Max was the school bully.
Then, a chance encounter. Max standing smug and handsome at a gas station with his oh-so-perfect family.
Rex secretly follows them home. Watches them. Thinks about his own miserable life. What Max did to him, and how a real man would claim revenge.
Rex acts.
Is this the making of a monster, or the breaking of a man?

Person
Sam Lee is a 28-year-old writer from Canada, but she has called the Dominican Republic home since she was six. At age eight she started an all-girl rock band, Crush, opening for her father's band across island gigs. In her pre-teens she started playing bass and writing her own material, and now tours globally as a bass player/singer in the alt-rock band Still Eighteen. Other passions include snowboarding and making tiny cactuses out of clay for no apparent reason. A Trail of Blood on the Snow is her first published novel.
