Book Synopsis
A compelling, powerful novel of adventure and murder among Antarctic explorers.

Trade Review
His story is tightly reined: terse, ironic, reflective. His depiction of Edwardian innocence and stuffiness crashing against the Antarctic void is superb * Washington Post *
The solution is as astonishing as it is inevitable, the denouement chilling and tragic * Ruth Rendell *
The period gives this book its strength and character . . . altogether an admirable accomplishment * New Yorker *
The absolute dark, absolute cold of the Antarctic is skilfully evoked * Sunday Times *
A powerful and subtle writer . . . a remarkable novel * Spectator *
I was riveted by this tale of a man fighting the elements and his fellow explorers * Daily Telegraph *
Highly original and deeply moving * Observer *
