From Sarah Andrews, best known for her popular mysteries featuring forensic geologist Em Hansen, comes an intriguing new heroine whose conquest produces a great many thrills and chills...

On thin ice...

Valena Walker is a master's student headed to Antarctica to study glaciology with the venerable Dr. Emmett Vanderzee. Being on the ice is something Valena has dreamed about since she was a little girl. But when she arrives at McMurdo Station, she soon discovers that her beloved professor and mentor has been shipped out. Arrested. And charged with murder in the first degree.

At the edge of the earth...

What really happened to the newspaper reporter who dared to contradict Emmett's research? Most believed that he died from exposure. But the evidence suggests a different story on a very, very cold case. Now Valena must brave the elements and chart a course among local scientists and McMurdo military personnel to clear Emmett's name. But there are others who will go to terrifying lengths to stand in Valena's way as she searches for the truth through a harsh and unfamiliar land...before it's too late.

Praise:

"A satisfying combination of mystery, politics, science, and history in a land of stark beauty and ever-present danger."--Kirkus Reviews
