'Dark and terrifying, utterly compelling' SARAH PEARSE
********
A luxury resort. Three missing women. One body.
When young London professional Alex Evans is informed that his sister's
body has been pulled from an icy lake in Northern Lapland, he assumes
his irresponsible sister accidentally drowned. He travels to the wealthy
winter resort where Vicky worked as a tour-guide and meets Agatha
Koskinen, the detective in charge. Agatha is a no-nonsense single mother
of three who already thinks there's more to Vicky's case than meets the
eye.
As the two form an unlikely alliance, Alex also begins to suspect the
small town where his sister lived and died is harbouring secrets. It's
not long before he learns that three other women have gone missing from
the area in the past and that his sister may have left him a message.
On the surface, Koppe, Lapland is a winter wonderland. But in this
remote, frozen place, death seems only ever a heartbeat away.
