SNOW KILL is a chilly visit to rural New Hampshire where someone is shooting at hunters. Chad Duquette came to Dunston, New Hampshire, to recover from both the Vietnam war and the murder of his wife and unborn child in a random act of violence. Gradually, with the help of therapy, Chad has worked his way back, he has a girlfriend, Rachel, and he works as a medic with the local fire department. One morning a call to a hunter shot tips Chad into a strange adventure involving a missing murder victim, a pentagram tattoo, and his kidnapped stepbrother. Chad doesn't understand why he is so drawn to this investigation but his persistence draws attention to a case with many underlying currents and draws the attention of some very nasty criminals. Eslick has an easy writing style that pulls you along and completely involves you in Chad's life ... the mystery itself will keep you reading.
