Midnight

At first, it''s everything she dreamed of. Majestic icebergs, tantalising glimpses of polar bears, and all under the eerie splendour of a sun that never sets. It''s so spectacular, she can swallow her unease at the eccentric behaviour of some of her fellow passengers. It''s not until their first night camping on the peninsula that things start to go wrong. A storm hits, and the boat has a problem, leaving them cut off. And then they find the first body. And Olivia realises she doesn''t know which is more frightening - the most dangerous environment on earth, or the killer hiding in plain sight, waiting to strike again...

With her life back in London falling apart, Olivia cannot believe her luck when she's invited on a once-in-a-lifetime Antarctic cruise with her boyfriend, Aaron.

Olivia has never been anywhere so spectacular: huge cliffs of ice loom high on the horizon, penguins dive through the sparkling sea, and above it all, the sun never sets in the eerie twilight sky.

Then Aaron disappears. And a body is discovered on board.

Surrounded by strangers, Olivia has no idea who she can trust.

If she can't figure it out soon, she might not make it back alive . . .
