The customers are a motley crew. Three locals: Nester Brandt, the town’s greying curmudgeon; and a pair of star-crossed lovers, Ken Hawick and Trish Avery. Three strangers: Hugh Davies, fast-rising star of all-night talk-radio; and Ceil and Mandy, two women he claims are his sisters. They all have secrets, secrets which have attracted the watcher.

Nester Brandt is the first to die, gunned down outside the restaurant by a silent man in a long black coat, a man whose pitiless gaze is as fixed and glittering as a raven’s. Nester’s death is only the beginning as this gathering of strangers becomes first prey, then hunters. They have learned too much about each other in a single snow-filled night. Like rats caught in a trap. .
