Detective Chief Inspector Kate Beauchamp is one of the survivors but her ferocious fight to stay alive brings with it a high cost: a burden of guilt that she should live while some of her friends died; a terror of water; a frozen inner core that never seems to melt.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the body of a young female journalist is found in Aberdeen soon after the disaster, Kate insists on conducting the investigation - partly to exorcize her own demons, partly because she feels a strange affinity with the victim. The killing is peculiarly brutal and the murderer has left a unique calling card: attached to the woman's neck is a poisonous snake.\u003cbr\u003eInto this emotional cauldron steps the last man on earth Kate wants to see - her estranged father, Frank, in Aberdeen to conduct the marine inquiry into the sinking. Was the disaster the result of a bomb, as claimed by the ferry-line's chairman, or is he trying to hide something?\u003cbr\u003eIn a sweltering heatwave, Kate and Frank conduct their highly pressured investigations. But for both of them, danger is approaching fast - a vortex of violence which will sweep them up and endanger their very lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50919126335762,"sku":"9780007336593","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dbad5215-be5a-468f-b0e1-d0764bb8efe0.jpg?v=1738887599","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/storm-9780007336593","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
