Lucia Perillo: IMG The Polymorph's Perversity



It should not be so hard to write both poetry and fiction. Both arts, after all, make use of the same materials, words and punctuation. Poems... Continue »

Publisher Comments:

’Tis the season for mistletoe and holly, Santa . . . and suspense. And the gift that keeps on giving is Ice: premier thriller author Linda Howard’s breathless tale of a man, a woman, and a battle for survival against an unforgiving winter–and an unrelenting killer. Oh what fun it is to read.

Gabriel McQueen has only just arrived home on holiday leave from the service when his county-sheriff father sends him back out again with new marching orders. A brewing ice storm, and a distant neighbor who’s fallen out of contact, have the local lawman concerned. So he enlists Gabriel to make the long haul to the middle of nowhere, and make sure Lolly Helton is safe and sound. It’s a trip the younger McQueen would rather not make given the bitter winter weather–and the icy conditions that have always existed between him and Lolly.

But there’s no talking back when your dad is the town’s top cop. And there’ s no turning back when night falls just as Gabriel arrives–and discovers that the weather outside isn’t the only thing that’s frightful. Spotting strangers in Lolly’ s home–one of them packing a weapon–is all it takes to kick Gabriel into combat mode. And his stealth training is all he needs to extract Lolly from the house without alerting her captors. But when the escape is discovered, the heat–and the hunt–are on. And the winter woods are nowhere to be once the ice storm touches down, dropping trees, blocking roads, and trapping the fleeing pair in the freezing dark.

Synopsis:

From the "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Up Close and Dangerous, Kiss Me While I Sleep" and "Dying to Please" comes this suspenseful tale of a man, a woman, and a battle for survival against an unrelenting killer.

Harriett, December 9, 2009 (view all comments by Harriett)
Before you wonder, I really Like everything that Linda Howard writes, and I eagerly buy whatever I can find, and I have certainly enjoyed 'ICE: A Novel'. In fact I will NEVER forget 'Can I lick you, Lollipop?' But having said that, at 198 pages, this thin volume is NOT a novel, in my opinion, and again, it is my own opinion, 'ICE' is at best a novella. (Ms Howard has published several excellent novellas previously, too.) At a list price of $24, I feel the publishers are taking unfair advantage of Ms Howard's readers. I absolve Ms Howard of any purse raiding, since I am sure she had nothing to do with setting the price, but I am going to check out page counts and book sizes more carefully here on out, before I buy.
