It is Christmas Eve in Wichita, Kansas, and snowing steadily. The streets are deserted, traffic is light and most people have returned home for the start of the festivities. But family get-togethers are the last thing on Charlie Arglist's mind, and home is the last place he needs to be. For Charlie has to get out of town. For good. And fast. But first there are just a few things has to do...
The Ice Harvest is a rollercoaster ride of double-cross, black humour and, very possibly, the last twenty-four hours in Charlie's life.
'Quirky and deeply noir, it's edge-of-the-seat stuff, but the tension's subtle and the humour's black. Like the film Fargo, The Ice Harvest oozes atmosphere'

'Delightfully mean-spirited, this is a razor-sharp slice of low-down Americana with a gothic vengeance both gripping and touching'
