INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER

From the bestselling author of Breathless comes another pulse-pounding thriller: a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Antarctica to camp beneath the midnight sun becomes a desperate battle for survival against a killer determined to follow their prey to the very ends of the earth.

With twenty-four hours of daylight, there is nowhere to hide...

Olivia has always dreamt of spending a "white night" on the frigid Antarctic continent, but as an actuary who assesses risk for a living, she never thought she'd have the chance. So when her career takes an unexpected turn after her high-powered art-dealer boyfriend decides to stage an ostentatious, career-making exhibition on a luxury expedition to the polar desert, she is thrilled.

But things soon begin to seem strange; in addition to the wealthy clients, Olivia unexpectedly finds they'll be travelling with the beleaguered employees of the company running the expedition and their charismatic, divisive CEO. And then ominous connections to her and her boyfriend's past begin to appear.

The first deaths seem at first a dreadful accident. But as the situation on board heats up and the temperatures plummet, Olivia starts to wonder if she has booked a one-way ticket to her own demise.
