Winslo Brauer, a passionate storyteller hailing from Berlin, has always been enamored with unraveling mysteries and exploring the intricate depths of the human psyche.
After a successful career in the field of psychology, where she delved into the complexities of the human mind, Winslo felt a stirring within her soul to share her unique perspective with the world. Fuelled by a desire to weave tales that captivate and intrigue, she embarked on a new chapter of her life as a novelist, bringing to life the enigmatic characters and chilling landscapes that had long inhabited her imagination.
In the Depths of Winter is her first novel.
Rike Volk, a retired homicide detective, has sought solace and solitude in the secluded wilderness of Saint Berna Aux Étranger in Northern Ontario. Her daily routine of cross-country skiing through the serene landscape helps her cope with the traumatic memories from her years on the force in Berlin. One frigid morning, her peaceful existence is shattered when she discovers a large pool of blood in the snow. The sight is jarring, like a splash of red paint on a blank canvas, and it triggers a flood of PTSD symptoms, bringing back memories of the gruesome cases she once handled.
