Allà llega Eric Shaw con el encargo de investigar el pasado de Campbell Bradford, un multimillonario de 95 años a quien le queda poco tiempo de vida. Bradford creció en la zona, pero su familia desconoce cómo fueron sus primeros años, por qué abandonó precipitadamente su localidad natal, ni cómo obtuvo su inmensa fortuna. Eric no lo tiene fácil para descubrir los orÃgenes de Bradford: trata con tipos de lo más excéntricos, suda para ganarse la confianza de la gente del pueblo -reticentes, por un misterioso motivo, a contar nada acerca de los Bradford- además de sortear a aquellos que quieren abortar su investigación. A filmmaker who failed to make it big in Hollywood now makes retrospective movies for parties and funerals in the Chicago area. When he gets a lucrative offer to make a film about a woman's father-in-law and his life in his hometown of French Lick, Eric decides to take the long drive to southern Indiana. He's also intrigued to get the story behind bottle of snake oil mineral water the woman gives him as a clue to the man's past. It feels unnaturally cold, and after he's spent only a few hours in the small town, it's so cold that it's frosted over. But Eric soon realizes that there are more mysteries here than a physics-defying bottle, and that it may be dangerous to solve them. I really enjoyed this supernatural mystery/thriller. The characters are all great, the story is neat, and the pacing is excellent. It was fun reading a story set in an area I'm familiar with, too, having gone to school in southern-ish Indiana. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: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 â?? 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 â?? 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 â?? 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 Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
