About this audiobook
The breathtaking heights of the Swiss Alps serve as the setting for a story of crime, punishment, and the heavy legacy of a family’s dark trade. A young man’s attempt to escape his father’s reputation leads him into a complex web of murder and mountain folklore. Cooper weaves a compelling narrative that explores the tension between ancestral duty and personal freedom in a rugged landscape.
