Summary
In the bitter Antarctic winter of 1910, in the waning years of the Edwardian era, a group of gentleman adventurers wait out a raging blizzard in the close, perpetual darkness, poised for a strike at the South Pole. As the storm lifts, a new challenge faces Captain Sir Eugene Stewart - to discover which of his twenty-five carefully chosen men has become a murderer, as what has begun as a probe for the bottom of the world becomes a probe for the bottom of man's soul.

"A powerful and subtle writer . . . a remarkable novel." (The Spectator)
"The solution is as astonishing as it is inevitable, the denouement chilling and tragic." (Ruth Rendell)
'"I was riveted by this tale of a man fighting the elements and his fellow explorers." (The Daily Telegraph)
"The period gives this book its strength and character ... altogether an admirable accomplishment." (The New Yorker)
"The absolute dark, absolute cold of the Antarctic is skilfully evoked." (The Sunday Times)
