About this listen

 Mark Asher, a bankrupt man with a permanent down on himself is offered one last chance in life; stacking shelves in a Supermarket, a prospect that he loathes. En-route to the country town of Cransberry to take up his new duties, his route takes him over a moor where he becomes stranded in a sudden blizzard. Fighting his way through the snow, he rescues a girl from a car, and they seek refuge in a small hotel that appears to be closed down for the winter. They are joined by other refugees of the storm as night draws on. He takes a liking to the girl, Cherise Adams, who insists on being called Cherry, But all is not as it seems, and it becomes apparent to Mark that somebody in that hotel wants Cherry dead, and when he discovers the hotelier and his wife bound and half frozen in the hotel garage he realises that somebody is very determined indeed that Cherry will never leave that hotel alive. But who is the would-be killer? How will he or she make their final attempt? Mark is determined to thwart the unknown person’s plans, but in a game of wits played out during that long frozen night he is always one step behind, and then, as dawn is breaking, he has one final desperate chance of saving Cherry, but only at the risk of his own life. Extract from Chapter 16 He waited for several seconds, looking and listening, and Mark feared that he would suddenly look up and see him before he could do anything. Finally, the man took a cautious step inside the garage, and Mark knew that this was the moment when he had to take decisive action. He crouched ready to spring down on the unsuspecting gunman beneath him. He hoped that by knocking him down he could get the gun away from him and turn the tables. Neil suddenly moved to a point directly beneath him, and Mark knew that the moment had come. The slight rustle he made as he moved alerted Neil, and even as Mark was hurtling down the gun swept upwards and flame spouted from the muzzle. At the same moment something clouted his head like a hammer as he landed on the man beneath. He felt his senses swimming but desperation lent him strength. As the gun clattered from his hand, Mark struck him full on the chin with his closed fist. Revised edition - October 2014 Crime Fiction Mystery Traditional Detectives Exciting
