Agent: Howard Morhaim, Howard Morhaim Literary. Golden is writing at the top of his game. Indeed, the unforgiving environment is just as grave a threat as the shadowy shaman. Golden’s prose is taut and undeniably unsettling, exploring the dark recesses of the Siberian landscape. They have something the shaman wants, and he will stop at nothing to get it.
Desperate to uncover the mystery of Akhurst’s abandonment, Teigland and Prentiss are thrown headlong into a tense game of cat and mouse with a mysterious shaman lurking on the edges of the settlement. But when Teigland and his cameraman, Prentiss, reach Akhurst, they find the settlement abandoned save for a catatonic young girl, and it becomes clear that something is gravely wrong. His new goal is to record daily life along the Kolyma Highway, a road hewn through the Siberian wilderness by prisoners in Stalinist Russia that passes through Akhurst, the coldest inhabited place in the world. Pursued by unknown terrors across the frozen Siberian tundra, a documentary-maker experiences a nightmare. After working on a ghost-hunting TV show, documentarian Felix Teigland is eager for a more substantial project. Bestseller Golden’s eerie, inventive latest (after Red Hands) takes readers on a hair-raising adventure through frozen Siberia.
