Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

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)

Reseña del editor:

In the waning years of the Edwardian era, a group of gentlemen wait out a raging blizzard in the perpetual darkness of the Antarctic winter, poised for a strike at the South Pole. As the storm lifts, a new challenge faces Captain Sir Eugene Stewart - to discover which of his twenty-five carefully chosen men has become a murderer. The quest for adventure has become a quest for justice.
