COLD HIGHWAYS BOOK TWO: CITIES AND SIGNS Wheels are turning? And they make little sound. Drawn by the lights in the valley, Larry finally reaches the city of Shrive and finds himself stood before the gates of hell. The city is a ruin ? a slum filled with people who have nothing left but memories. As he begins to learn of his true nature, Larry finds himself seduced by the voices of that other world. There are promises of salvation here, a chance to make a difference. In this land he is more than just a man - he is a symbol hope; a tether between the two worlds. There are others that desire the power he wields though. And as Tristen and Locke find themselves narrowly escaping The Millers ambush, the Plateaus erupt into bloodshed, fuelled by an unseen conflict that has been raging for years. As the world seems set to tear itself apart, the man with the gun prepares to make his final play as well ? to kill Larry and take the case, the key to all things. Amidst the flames, fate is moving once more and it seems as if no soul may escape it. Not in this world or the last?
