The Chill is an eerie dive into the murky depths of the supernatural. A story that has you looking back over your shoulder on every page' MICHAEL CONNELLY

In this terrifying thriller, a supernatural force set in motion a century ago threatens to devastate New York City.

In upstate New York a drowned village lies beneath the dark, still waters of the Chilewaukee reservoir. Sacrificed a century ago to bring water to the millions living downstate, the town's destruction was for the greater good . . . at least that's what the politicians said.

Years later an inspector overseeing the dangerously neglected dam witnesses something inexplicable.

It seems more than the village was left behind in the waters of the Chill; some never left at all. Now a dark prophecy comes to fruition. Those who remember must ask themselves: who will be next? For sacrifices must be made.

As the dark water begins inexorably to rise, the demand for a fresh sacrifice emerges from the deep . . .
