DS Nick Chester returns with a new case that will test his limits. The tiny South Island town of Franz Josef is perched precariously on New Zealand’s Alpine Fault. It already faces devastating earthquakes, floods and landslides. And now it harbours a killer. When a body is discovered suspended in a glacier, detectives Nick Chester and Latifa Rapata are sent to investigate. More victims surface, as does a web of corruption stretching from the international aid industry to the blood-steeped fields of a civil war. From the award-winning author of Marlborough Man and Doom Creek, this atmospheric thriller plunges readers into a blood-soaked crevasse of natural disasters, international intrigue and calculated murder.
