Book Description

November 29, 2007
SNOWBOUND When the Sacramento heist turns sour, the three gunmen head for the Sierra Nevada mountains to the safe house they had set up for themselves in the small village of Hidden Valley. There is a storm approaching and the residents there are preparing for Christmas. None of them have any idea of the killers in their midst. Rebecca Hughes is too busy dealing with her faithless husband. John Tribucci and his wife Ann are getting ready for the birth of their first child. And all Zachary Cain wants to do is drink himself into forgetfulness over the death of his family. None of them are prepared for three desperate men who decide to pull the ultimate heist--and hold an entire town hostage!

GAMES Senator David Jackman needed to get away for the weekend, and he had just the spot in mind the family island, a secluded spot off the coast of Maine. And he had just the person in mind to join him his free-spirited mistress, Tracy. But once they arrive, nothing seems right. All the guns are missing from the house. They find a couple of dead animals, ritualistically slaughtered. Then their boat is stolen. Soon, suspicion turns to terror as David and Tracy are stalked by two deadly and possibly deranged adversaries. The Old Man had always told David that life is a game, but if that is the case, this could be the biggest game of all and the final one!

Review

SNOWBOUND: A stinger and a beaut. Pronzini makes people and events so real that you re living those explosive days of terror. --Robert Ludlum

GAMES: Pronzini is a kind of magician, only he builds his illusions, casts his spells and creates his magic with words...the people are real, the psychology is sound and the situation so inherently spellbinding that readers will be swept effortlessly along by the narrative. --Seattle Post Intelligencer
