The Ice

Laline Paull

Overview

Set in the near future, the Arctic sea ice has melted, opening new frontiers for global business and tourism. Passengers on a cruise ship, the Vanir, seeking rare wildlife encounters, discover a dead body. The deceased is Tom Harding, who disappeared three years prior and is now revealed by the melting Midgard glacier. Tom had been assisting his best friend of thirty years, Sean Cawson, in launching a new venture. Sean's business thrives on discretion and powerful connections, and he was the last person to see Tom alive. Their lifelong friendship, forged through a shared passion for Arctic exploration, is now under scrutiny as an inquest begins.
