Stormfront - Robert Conroy - Bog

NATIONAL BEST-SELLING AUTHOR. A snow storm of epic proportions shuts down the town of Sheridan, Michigan. The weather is dangerous enough on its own, but it has loosed something even deadlier onto the town: a duo of sadistic killers.No one thought much about the storm. Not the National Weather Service and not the big-name meteorologists. Experienced local weatherman Wally Wellman thought there might be trouble, but even he couldn't predict the natural disaster that was about to lay siege to the quiet suburb of Sheridan, Michigan. Now, with resources stretched to their breaking point, Sheridan police officer Mike Stuart must try to keep the town safe. But something is lurking in Sheridan, something as cold as the snow and ice, and just as deadly. A pair of escaped convicts, on the run south, have been stranded in town. And they don't plan on laying low. As the death toll rises, Officer Stuart must face down enemies far more dangerous-and unpredictable-than any storm.
