FROM BOOKER-LONGLISTED ED O’LOUGHLIN: THE PERFECT NOVEL FOR FANS OF AMY SACKVILLE’S THE STILL POINT AND FRANCIS SPUFFORD’S I MAY BE SOME TIME.

It begins with a chance encounter at the top of the world.

They soon learn that these two men have an unexpected link – a hidden share in one of the greatest enduring mysteries of polar exploration.
