Description: On the remote northeast coast of Greenland, Berg Technology has set up a camp to carry out preliminary studies and construct infrastructure on behalf of an arctic mining company. In October geologist Oddny Hildur goes missing, then the following March all contact is lost with the two remaining workers on site. Facing a loss if work is not completed, the bank hires lawyer Thóra to join a team of five sent to investigate. Is there a connection with the disappearance of Oddny from the site some months earlier? And why are the locals so hostile?"-- Back cover.
