Now a major motion picture: So Cold the River is a chilling,
supernatural tale "guaranteed to put the cold finger down your spine"
(Michael Connelly).
It started with a beautiful woman and a challenge. As a gift for her
husband, Alyssa Bradford approaches Eric Shaw to make a documentary
about her father-in-law, Campbell Bradford, a 95-year-old billionaire
whose past is wrapped in mystery. Eric grabs the job even though there
are few clues to the man's past -- just the name of his hometown and an
antique water bottle he's kept his entire life.
In Bradford's hometown, Eric discovers an extraordinary history -- a
glorious domed hotel where movie stars, presidents, athletes, and
mobsters once mingled, and hot springs whose miraculous mineral water
cured everything from insomnia to malaria. Neglected for years, the
resort has been restored to its former grandeur just in time for Eric's
stay.
Just hours after his arrival, Eric experiences a frighteningly vivid
vision. As the days pass, the frequency and intensity of his
hallucinations increase and draw Eric deeper into the town's dark
history. He discovers that something besides the hotel has been restored
-- a long-forgotten evil that will stop at nothing to regain its lost
glory. Brilliantly imagined and terrifyingly real, So Cold the River
is a tale of irresistible suspense with a racing, unstoppable current.
