Buried Frozen plus You Are the...

A. J. Payler

What's buried beneath the frozen ground… will change his world forever 
The only thing that made those seemingly unending days in prison bearable was knowing what was waiting for him on the outside, buried deep in the frozen ground where she'd sworn to leave his share of the loot. 
And after years of isolation, all he has to do is dig it up, rejoin her, and get back to the life that's rightfully his.  
But even the best laid plans oft go awry. And sure, they'd never claimed to be the best of the best, but still… he never could have imagined what he'd find waiting for him, cold and dark at the bottom of that hole. 
From A. J. Payler, author of The Killing Song, Bank Error in Your Favor, and Terror Next Door comes Buried, Frozen—a story of the terror that lies at the heart of the human condition and the fear that creeps in the darkest, coldest hours of the night.
