The tiny South Island town of Franz Josef is perched precariously on New Zealand's Alpine Fault. It already faces devastating earthquakes, floods and landslides. And now it harbours a killer. When a body is discovered suspended in a glacier, detectives Nick Chester and Latifa Rapata are sent to investigate. More victims surface, as does a web of corruption stretching from the international aid industry to the blood-steeped fields of a civil war. From the award-winning author of Marlborough Man and Doom Creek, this atmospheric thriller plunges readers into a blood-soaked crevasse of natural disasters, international intrigue and calculated murder. This is the third book in the thrilling Nick Chester series by award-winning author Alan Carter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarter, Alan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Alan Carter was born in Sunderland, UK.
