Marine Captain Joe McKay can't sleep. Already a veteran of the brutal war against Japan, McKay now works in secret for the special operations of the OSS in Europe. When his superiors suddenly present him with a new mission-scout and sabotage a hydroelectric dam in the winter-long darkness of Norway, north of the Arctic Circle-he contacts an old friend, now in the US Army, for help. The mission bothers McKay-the poor intelligence, the rushed preparation, the hodgepodge team assembled at last minute, and the long, chill, and sleepless night lying over the target. And after the difficult trip to Norway, he finds himself confronted with yet another obstacle-Josef Petersen, his silent, standoffish contact with the Norwegian resistance. Hundreds of miles deep in enemy territory, surrounded by dangers, and unsure of his friends, McKay steels himself to do his duty. But can he succeed? And can he escape with his team when the job is done?
