Death in a cold climate

Death in a cold climate: Mystery surrounds a young Englishman who is seen briefly around the town of Tromsö, Norway, in the summer before his body is found when the snow melts the following spring. He doesn't seem to have been a tourist, but what was he doing in Tromsö, why was he killed, and who did it? The Tromsö police find they have a tough case to handle since the young man made so little impression when he was alive, and investigation in his English hometown is of little help.

  • "It was midday on December 21st in the city of Troms when the boy was last seen: a tall, blond boy swathed in anorak and scarf against the Arctic noon. After that he wasn't seen again, not until three months later, when Professor Mackenzie's dog started sniffing around in the snow and uncovered a human ear, attached to a naked corpse. Nobody knew who he was, or where he had come from. And after three months it was almost impossible to track down the identity of the corpse. But Inspector Fagermo refused to give up, and as he probed deeper into the Arctic city he began to discover a dangerous conspiracy of blackmail, espionage, and cold-blooded murder."@en
