Winter, 1987. The Kola Peninsula, northern Russia. A secret, underground research station is destroyed in an explosion.
Coming months after the Chernobyl disaster, the Soviets will do anything to conceal the incident. Which is bad news for British Arctic researcher Dr Amelia Blackburn who stumbles on the truth . . . Lost in frozen, endless night, Kola is as difficult to survive in as it is impossible to get into or out of without the Soviets noticing. But those are Major Tom Fox’s orders: find Amelia, learn what she knows, leave.
His chances of success drop with the temperature. But Fox, a widower desperate to see his son again, has one thing the Soviets chasing him lack. A light to guide him in the darkness .
