On a Friday in Are, six university students arrive for a week of skiing and partying. By Sunday morning only five are alive. The body of their friend Filippa is found in the brutally cold outdoors, showing no signs of assault. It’s as if the barefoot young woman just curled up in a snowdrift to die. It appears to be a tragic misfortune. And Detective Inspectors Hanna Ahlander and Daniel Lindskog, both at turning points in their personal lives, aren’t anxious to get involved. But Hanna can’t ignore her gut instinct. This is no accident. This is another murder in Are. Filippa’s best friend, Olivia, has her suspicions too. But who among her tight-knit clique was the last to see Filippa alive? As, one by one, the friends are pitted against each other, another crime rocks the resort. For Hanna and Daniel, it’s a race against time to separate the truth from the lies, before someone else dies.
