Girl in Ice

By Erica Ferencik

Book Overview

In this gripping Arctic thriller from the author of The River at Night and Into the Jungle, a linguist travels to a remote Greenland research station to investigate her twin brother's suspicious death--and a mysterious girl thawed alive from the ice--blending psychological suspense, survival adventure, and climate fiction.Valerie "Val" Chesterfield is an expert in dead Nordic languages, more comfortable with ancient texts than the outside world. But when her twin brother, a climate scientist stationed on an isolated island off Greenland, is found dead after walking into subzero wilderness, Val refuses to believe it was suicide. When a fellow researcher discovers a girl frozen in the ice--alive and speaking an unknown language--Val is called north to help interpret her words. Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks on a perilous journey into a stark and hostile landscape. As Val confronts her fears and deciphers the girl's cryptic language, she begins to suspect that the answers to both mysteries lie buried within the research itself. With the child's life hanging in the balance and danger closing in, Val must uncover the truth before it disappears beneath the ice. Atmospheric, suspenseful, and emotionally resonant, this literary thriller explores grief, isolation, science, and survival at the edge of the world.
