Blood and Ice

Blood and Ice

In this haunting and suspenseful thriller, Robert Masello delivers an adventure that spans continents and centuriesâ€”a spellbinding story that ranges from Victorian England to a remote antarctic research station, where an ancient glacier yields a shocking prize it has held captive for nearly two hundred yearsâ€¦.

Journalist Michael Wildeâ€”his world recently shattered by tragedyâ€”hopes that a monthlong assignment to the South Pole will give him a new lease on life. Here, in the most inhospitable place on earth, he is simply looking to find solace . . . until, on a routine dive in to the polar sea, he unexpectedly finds something else entirely: a young man and woman, bound with chains and sealed forever in a block of ice. Beside them a chest filled with a strange, and sinister, cargo.

Now, in a bleak but breathtaking world of shimmering icebergs, deep blue crevasses, and never-ending sun, Wilde must unravel the mystery of this doomed couple. Were they the innocent victims of fear and superstitionâ€”or were they something far darker? His search will lead from the barracks and battlefields of the Crimean War to the unexplored depths of the Antarctic Ocean, from the ill-fated charge of the Light Brigade to an age-old curse that survives to this day.

As the ice around the murdered lovers begins to melt, Wilde will have to grapple with a miracleâ€”or a nightmareâ€”in the making. For what is dead, it turns out, may not be gone. And here, at the very end of the known world, thereâ€™s nowhere to hide and no place left for the living to run.
