Cabin Fever
Cabin Fever: Trapped in the woods, there is no escape... The perfect chilly wintertime read for Christmas 2022! by Alex Dahl

Alone and isolated in a snow-covered Scandinavian forest, a therapist begins to read her client's novel manuscript, only to discover the main character is terrifyingly familiar...

You are her therapist.

Kristina is a successful therapist in central Oslo. She spends her days helping clients navigate their lives with a cool professionalism that has got her to the top.

She is your client.

When her client Leah begs her to come to her remote cabin in the woods, Kristina refuses. But then Leah disappears and Kristina feels her control beginning to slip.

So why does she know so much about you?

Kristina reluctantly heads out into the wilderness to find Leah. Alone and isolated, surrounded by snow and trees, Kristina realizes she has made a huge mistake.

Perfect for fans of Alex Pine, Harriet Tyce and Will Dean.

What readers are saying about Cabin Fever:

'Dark, intelligent books set in bleak landscapes – who doesn't love a Scandi thriller? Especially when it's from the critically acclaimed author of The Boy Next Door... Tense and twisty, this tale explores obsession and mental health' Woman's Own
'This story has all the props of a true Scandi-noir thriller... The descriptions of the forest are particularly powerful and the story spins off successfully in a variety of different directions, coming to a chilling and convincing conclusion' Daily Mail
'Cabin Fever is an utterly compelling psychological thriller – terrifying and well-crafted, with a super-tense finale up there with Stephen King's Misery. Enjoyed the meta touches too. Dahl is undoubtedly one of Nordic noir's brightest/darkest stars. Loved it' JS Monroe
'Dark and unsettling' Crime Monthly
