"A breathtaking Alpine thriller. Brilliantly researched and impossible to put down. Based on facts." Professor Cariello regrets saying yes to his colleagues from Harvard. Climbing the Gorner Glacier in the Swiss Alps—in the middle of February—is as treacherous as it gets. And when one of their team plunges into a deep crevasse, Cariello risks everything to save him. But what they find in the ice changes everything. Frozen in the glacier lies the body of a child—ancient, perfectly preserved… and far from ordinary. As Cariello and his courageous companion Therese prepare to investigate the shocking discovery, their work is suddenly derailed. A mountain rescuer disappears—and is later found murdered in the very same ice crevasse. A gripping mystery unfolds in the icy heart of the Alps, where science, legend, and death converge. "A pulse-pounding alpine mystery with echoes of archaeology and ancient secrets." "Atmospheric, intelligent, and chilling—in every sense of the word." "A thrilling blend of murder, glacial discovery, and environmental insight."
