In an instant, her breath left her and a burning, tightening sensation shot up her spine. She blinked, trying to make the terrible thing go away, but when she opened her eyes it was still there . . .
When Arctic guide Edie Kiglatuk stumbles across a body abandoned in the Alaskan forest, she little imagines what her discovery will lead her to.
While her ex-husband Sammy competes in a dangerous sled race, travelling across some of the world's toughest and most deadly terrain, Edie cannot get the image of the frozen child out of her mind. Before long she will set off on an investigation which will take her into a dark world of politics, corruption and greed - as a painful secret in her past finally catches up with her . . .
'McGrath's first thriller was the exceptional White Heat. The Boy in the Snow confirms just how good this writer is . . . The snow-laden wastes of Alaska are so brilliantly evoked that is almost makes you shiver reading it, and the plot is every bit as chilling' Daily Mail
