Snow Wolf
by Glenn MeadeIt is 1953. Joseph Stalin, the world's most tyrannical dictator, is teetering on the edge of insanity, and about to plunge the world into nuclear chaos. Only one man and one woman can penetrate the Iron Curtain and stop this madman, before it's too late. But someone inside the Kremlin knows. And as the KGB's deadly manhunter pursues these two CIA-hired assassins, another dual unfolds, between secret warriors of the West and East, with a U.S. agent caught in between. Now that agent must do the unthinkable: find his way to the heart of the Soviet Union and stop the mission he himself set in motion before it ignites World War III.
Snow Wolf: A Thriller
by Glenn MeadeFirst published in 1997, Glenn Meade’s first internationally bestselling thriller is back and better than ever, as it takes you on a riveting ride into the heart of a Cold War plot to assassinate Joseph Stalin.It’s 1953—the middle of the Cold War. Joseph Stalin is a major threat—with his deteriorating mental stability, reports that he’s about to resume his horrifying purges, and the Soviet Union on the cusp of developing nuclear weapons, it’s a risk the US government is unwilling to take. Operation Snow Wolf is created to eliminate Stalin before it’s too late. CIA agent Jake Massey is chosen to run the operation and he recruits Alex Slanski—AKA Wolf—to do the deed, along with Anna, who recently escaped from a Soviet gulag, to be his guide. But someone knows their plan, and the KGB have dispatched their own deadly Major Yuri Lukin to hunt down the hunters. As circumstances quickly unravel, Jake must somehow put an end to the mission he had set into motion—before the entire situation explodes into World War III. Filled with breathtaking action and nail-biting thrills, this classic bestseller proves that despite being over, the Cold War can “still freeze readers’ attention and chill their blood” (Publishers Weekly).
Snow on the Roses: A Garth Ryland Mystery (A Garth Ryland Mystery #12)
by John R. RiggsThere are some deaths you don't want to contemplate. You can't. The loss would be too great. That's how Garth Ryland, editor of the Oakalla (Wisconsin) Reporter, felt about Doc Airhart. The doc was his hunting companion, his mentor, the friendly ear who gave Garth wise, if sometimes caustic, counsel. Doc had always been there for Garth. And now he was gone. Doc's niece Abby found him in bed one morning, clad in silk pajamas with the hint of a smile on his face. A peaceful death in his sleep. What else could it be? After all, Doc was ninety and had heart problems. But there was the uneasiness of the dog barking in the night and Abby's feeling someone had been in the house. And then there was the question of the next installment of "Doc Remembers," the memoirs he had been writing for the Reporter, the one recalling 1962. Where was it? Nineteen sixty-two. Garth hadn't been around Oakalla much then. He only came in the summer to visit his Grandmother Ryland. But he soon discovered that was the year the body was found over near Wildwood Bridge, the body of a University of Wisconsin zoology professor who drowned after slipping on some rocks. Or had two bodies been found, as Dewey Clinton insisted? But who ever listened to Dewey, with his low IQ and to get things mixed up? Garth didn't want to believe Doc had been murdered, but as events became more muddled and twisted, he had to find out what happened--not only today but in that yesterday of thirty years ago. As Garth asked questions, he got the prickly feeling of being watched and stalked. He might have turned his suspicions over to the "law," but the law in Oakalla was temporarily Deputy Sheriff Eugene Yuill, who wasn't too far behind Dewey Clinton in the dim-bulb department. Besides, Eugene was missing. As questions piled on questions, Garth found himself in one of the most complex and dangerous mysteries he'd ever encountered. The life of rural America may appear bucolic and serene on the surface, but its underbelly is covered with warts and cancers. Critics have praised author John R. Riggs as having a keen ear for the cadence of small-town USA. He also captures the chilling evil of human nature, whether in the backwoods or the big city. Threatened, man--and woman--will commit unthinkable acts to protect what they claim as theirs. Most of the riveting mysteries set in the bleak and beautiful small town and rural area of Wisconsin, solved by Garth Ryland are in the Bookshare library including: #1 The Last Laugh, #3 The Glory Hound, #4 Hunting Ground, #6. Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, #7 One Man's Poison, #8. Dead Letter, #9. A Dragon Lives Forever, #10. Cold Hearts and Gentle People, #Killing Frost, #The Lost Scout and #14.

Snowbound Six
by Richard Martin SternThere were six of them trapped in the cave, high up in the New Mexico mountains-six people thrown together by the awesome power of a wilderness blizzard: Warner Harlow, his wife, son and daughter had taken a wrong turn on a bright October afternoon, onto an isolated mountain road. By the time they realized their mistake the temperature had dropped and the snow had started-and then they wrecked their car and trailer attempting a U-turn on the narrow, frozen pavement... Ben Parker was a young hiker on his way to the shelter of a mountain cabin. Once he stopped to aid the Harlows there was no time left for the trek he had planned-and barely enough time to get the Harlows, and himself, to the relative safety of a nearby cave. He never expected any of them to last the night-in sub-zero temperatures, with no relief in sight... State Senator Joe Martin had been out in his private plane, on a joyride with his mistress-a beautiful young woman named Lila. They were flying too low when the storm hit-and when they crashed near the scene of the Harlows' accident, Martin was killed instantly. But Ben was able to rescue Lila and add her name to the list of stranded, off-course travelers facing almost certain death in the tiny, airless cave... When the snow started drifting there would be rock slides-any one of which could seal them off forever in an icy tomb. When their meager supply of food and wood ran out, they would die slowly, one by one, from the fierce cold. And their only hope of deliverance now passed into the hands of a small, poorly equipped Search and Rescue team forming in the valley below them ... The S&R team were volunteers-five men and one woman-all strong and skilled in outdoor survival. But their chances of success were slim at best-and the possibilities for all out disaster were growing by the minute. Before long there might be twelve people trapped in these forbidding mountains-with the worst of the storm yet to come...
