Analgesic Winter

Bol

Cassian Adler is a solitary meteorologist manning the winter shift at the Boreas Peak Observatory, a heavily fortified concrete bunker chained to a remote mountain summit. Outside, a lethal Category 5 blizzard rages with 180 mph hurricane-force winds and minus 40-degree temperatures. Stepping outside means instant death.But the true storm begins in the dead of night when a bloodied, freezing man arrives at the bunker's reinforced steel door. Believing him to be a lost hiker, Cassian lets him in, only to discover the man is an escaped maximum-security prisoner desperate to claim the impenetrable bunker as his own. When Cassian fights back, he uncovers a terrifying reality: the killer suffers from severe congenital analgesia (CIPA). He is completely incapable of feeling pain or temperature-an unfeeling monster who won't stop, even with broken bones.Knowing he cannot freeze, the prisoner intentionally sabotages the bunker's heating and shatters the main observation window, turning the enclosed space into a deadly, freezing wind-tunnel of flying debris. Cornered in the pitch-black server closet by an unstoppable killer, Cassian realizes he cannot win a physical fight against a man who feels no pain. To survive the lethal cold and the painless assassin, Cassian must make a brutal, desperate move involving a 4,000-degree military-grade magnesium flare. It's a fiery gamble that will push his morality to the absolute edge, forcing him to embrace a macabre survival tactic to make it through the longest, coldest night of his life.
