Description
Iceland in the winter is a place of extremes, where daylight and darkness are measured in hours. In 1971, tensions between Icelanders and NATO personnel at Keflavik air base are running high. When a teenager's body is found after a night out, suspicion falls on the military presence. British agent Bill Conran is brought in to uncover a Russian spy ring, but soon discovers that this is no ordinary assignment. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Conran realizes that nothing is as it seems. With an unknown assassin targeting him and a complex web of allegiances, he must navigate the treacherous landscape of Cold War espionage. The chill factor is not just a measure of temperature - in Iceland, it's a state of mind. In this gripping suspense novel, Richard Falkirk masterfully weaves together threads of international intrigue, personal loyalty, and the darker aspects of human nature.
