With her is her ten-year-old daughter Ruby, who has been deaf since birth. They soon receive news, however, that Matt has been killed in a devastating fire that claimed the lives of everyone in the remote village of Anaktue, where he had been working as a wildlife photographer. But Yasmin is certain he is still alive. When her lift is unexpectedly terminated, and with a violent storm on the way, Yasmin must make a heart-wrenching decision. She and Ruby embark upon a terrifying drive on the ice road, in a deep, entrenching night that never lifts, and the risk of freezing to death is only minutes away. And slowly, patiently, someone is following them in the dark UR - http://www.ulverscroft.com/images/thumbs/9781444828177.jpg ER -
