John Shirley – The Icy Touch

The first original novel to tie-in with the hit US show inspired by the Grimm Brothers’ classic fairy tales.

There once was a man who lived a life so strange, it had to be true. Only he could see what no one else can: the darkness inside, the real monster within. And he’s the one who must stop them..

They soon discover that a international crime cartel named Le Touche Givre (The Icy Touch) is threatening Wesen into joining their illegal drug-smuggling operation, and brutally murdering those who refuse.

As they close in on the cartel, Nick begins to realise that their charismatic and dangerous leader is just as intent on tracking him down…
