Description

Bush pilot and family man Tom Stokes is about to face the worst day of his life. On a clear winter's morning he sets out in his Cessna 180 to do some repairs on a remote hunt camp, leaving his 5 year old son and very pregnant wife snug in their beds. On the return trip, a sudden squall forces him into an emergency landing and he winds up—quite literally—in the lap of petty criminal Dale Knight. Dale, now a fugitive from the law—and worse, from a merciless Toronto drug lord who happens to be his brother—draws Tom into a web of mayhem that puts not only his own life at risk, but the lives of his wife, son…and unborn child. Squall is a fast-paced, darkly-comic tale of murder, kidnapping and gang-style retribution that grabs the reader on page one and simply does not let go.

About the Author

Sean Costello

Sean Costello

Sean Costello has been practicing anaesthesiology in Sudbury since 1981. In the late 80’s and early 90’s he published a series of mass market horror novels that garnered him not unrealistic comparisons to Stephen King, and a fan following (Eden’s Eyes 0671668536, Pocket Books, 1989 [mass market pbk]; The Cartoonist 033031338X, Pocket Books, 1990 [mass market pbk]; Captain Quad 0671702246, Pocket Books, 1991 [mass market pbk]). Gradually, however, Sean found the pace and constraints of mass market publishing too frenetic and confining, and jumped off that bandwagon. Roughly 10 years later he returned, but his work now displayed a significant shift to the psychological side of the spectrum from the horror side (Sandman 0973146915 Red Tower, 2000 [trade pbk]; Finders Keepers 0973146907 Red Tower, 2002 [trade pbk]). While still faithful to Costello’s roots in horror and the supernatural, Here After continues that shift. His fans haven’t waited in vain.
