I just
spotted this one on NetGalley. Though it is not available for US Readers/Reviewers, I am
hoping it is soon!

When
environmental scientist Laura Alvarado is sent to a remote Antarctic island to
report on an abandoned whaling station, she begins to uncover more than she
could ever imagine.
Despite new
life thriving in the icy wilderness, the whaling station is brimming with awful
reminders of its bloody, violent past, and Laura is disturbed by evidence of
recent human interference. Rules have been broken, and the protected wildlife
is behaving strangely.
On a diving
expedition, Laura is separated from her colleague. She emerges into an ice cave
where, through the blue shadows, she is shocked to see an anguished figure,
crying for help.
But in this
freezing, lonely landscape there are ghosts everywhere, and Laura begins to
sense that her own eyes cannot be trusted. Is her mind playing tricks? Has she
been in the ice too long?
Back at
base, Laura’s questions about the whaling station go unanswered, blocked by
unhelpful scientists, unused to questions from an outsider. And Laura just
can’t shake what happened in the ice cave.
Piecing
together a past and present of cruelty and vulnerability that can be traced all
around the globe, from Norway, to Nantucket, Europe and Antarctica, Laura will
stop at nothing to unearth the truth. As she sees the dark side of endeavour
and human nature, she also discovers a legacy of love, hope and the meaning of
family. If only Laura can find her way...
Out of the
ice.
