It was midday on December 21 in the Norwegian city of Tromsø when the boy was last seen - a tall, blond boy swathed in an anorak and a scarf against the Arctic noon. He is not seen again, not until three months later when Dougal Mackenzie's dog sniffs around in the snow and uncovers a human ear . . . attached to a naked corpse.
Nobody knows who he was, or where he had come from. And after three months it is almost impossible to work out the identity of the corpse. But Inspector Fagermo refuses to give up - and as he probes deeper into the Arctic city he begins to discover a dangerous conspiracy of blackmail, espionage, and cold-blooded murder.
Regarded as Robert Barnard's best, Death in a Cold Climate is a gripping detective novel with a captivating mystery at its heart.
