An expedition to the North Pole will be on the verge of collapse due to an unclear illness among people and dogs. When the rescue helicopter finally arrives, the leader categorically refuses to return back to Svalbard. Experienced police officer Knut Fjell, sensing that something is wrong, stays at the polar camp so he can go to the pole together with them.
Complicated and tragic events will lead to terrible consequences. But who is to blame? As with the three previous books by Monika Kristensen, the intuition and experience of the Svalbard policeman Fjell won’t let him down. The book received a great deal of attention in the press both in Norway and in other countries.
