BENEATH THE ICE LIES A WEB OF DECEIT
The brutal murder of Andrew 'Drew' Fairfield on a remote Antarctic base thrusts DCI Tessa McCallister into the claustrophobic lives of an isolated community of international scientists and crew.
Through police interviews, covert recordings, and audio diaries, Tessa hears hidden agendas, concealed criminal histories, violent psychosis, and dangerous conspiracy theories to help her uncover the truth behind the murder.
With the murderer still on the base, join DCI McCallister as she races against time to untangle the maze of deception, revealing chilling truths buried beneath the ice.
