Interesting start in that the corpse is found lying peacefully on its' back outside an Ice hole after a winter dip. Autopsy says "Drowned", but if he drowned, how did he got out of the hole?  The son is called to Finland to see his Father's body and arrange his affairs. And although he has not spoken to his father in 20 years and his wife is pregnant and near term back in New York, why should he waste time here?  But after talking with his father's friends many things are disturbing. And things get weird. Someone has ransacked his fathers house. What are they looking for?  The early chapters are a bit slow as the clues begin to be more mysterious.  This is a winter Finnish landscape where the cold can kill easily if you're not careful.  And the son is no longer acclimated after being away for 20 years.  Stay with it.
