Outside

byRagnar Jónasson, Eleanor Jackson (Read by), Reice Weathers (Read by), Gil Sullivan (Read by), Jamie Maclachlan (Read by)

The heart-pounding new mystery soon to be a major motion picture

When a deadly snowstorm strikes the Icelandic highlands, four friends seek shelter in a small, abandoned hunting lodge, in the middle of nowhere, with no way of communicating with the outside world.
They are isolated - but they are not alone...
As the night darkens, and fears intensify, an old secret gradually surfaces - one that forever changed the course of their friendship. Those dark memories could hold the key to the mystery the friends now find themselves in.
And whether they will survive until morning....
Jonasson is a connoisseur of 'unrelenting darkness'; the atmosphere of paranoid claustrophobia [Jonasson] creates is so intense you can't help gripping the book as tightly as possible
