Survival can be murder . . .
Hannah awakens to carnage, all mangled metal and shattered glass. Evacuated from a secluded boarding school during a snowstorm, her coach careered off the road, trapping her with a handful of survivors.
Meg awakens to a gentle rocking. She's in a cable car stranded high above snowy mountains, with five strangers and no memory of how they got on board.
Carter is gazing out of the window of an isolated ski chalet that he and his companions call home. As their generator begins to waver in the storm, the threat of something lurking in the chalet's depths looms larger.
Outside, the storm rages. Inside each group, a killer lurks.
But who? And will anyone make it out alive? . .

I'm a fan of the author and really enjoyed The Drift. I liked the way the book is structured, almost as if you're reading three separate books, forcing you to keep turning the pages until you find out how everyone and everything is connected. I loved the setting of the book, remote places during the snow, the perfect spots for danger to be lurking. I also liked the fact a strange pandemic serves at the backdrop to events, a virus worse than Covid. This books has so many questions that don't get answered until almost the end. I liked all the twists and turns. This is a gripping thriller. I'd recommend it.
