With transport out of Berlin impossible, and the KGB searching everywhere for their lost scientist, Perceval must improvise a deadly game of cat and mouse through the frozen city to keep the Russians at bay, and deliver his own unique brand of revenge!

Praise for THE COLDEST WINTER
"A prequel to Johnston and Sam Hart's Coldest City (2012), this is just as gripping, filled with daring escapes and constant double crosses, and the masterful and unexpected conclusion will keep readers guessing up to the very end. [...] the noirlike images deliver an atmosphere of questionable morality and deep secrecy that's perfectly in keeping with the story. Ideal for fans of spy fiction." Booklist
"A cold, hard tale of cold, hard men, engineered with the lethal precision of a ticking time bomb." Andy Diggle (The Losers, Green Arrow: Year One)
"Like a car chase across divided Berlin, through shadowy corners, over snow-covered streets, a satisfying surprise around every bend. This is the graphic novel thriller you've been looking for." Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet, Captain Marvel)
"Rejoice. We're back to Berlin and the taut spy game is colder, harder and better than ever." Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Star Wars: Darth Vader)
"The Coldest Winter is the deep spy intrigue you've been wanting from comics and it delivers in spades." Christopher Sebela (We(l)come Back, Heartthrob)
