The sequel to the Richard and Judy hit A Cold Season ('Perfect reading for a dark winter's night' said Richard and Judy). New game Acheron offers you everything you desire . . . at the cost of your soul. Would you?
Ben Cassidy promised his mother he would never to return to Darnshaw, the remote village they barely escaped when he was a child. But when his friend, Jessica, kills herself, he feels compelled to investigate.
Jessica was playing a sinister computer game called Acheron, which claims it will give you anything you desire . . . for a price.
As Ben and his friends delve ever deeper into the world of Acheron, good motivations and morality begin to slip, and they find themselves spiralling out of control. Ben could save them all, but the cost for doing so might be too high to pay . . .
