Three climbers set off on an expedition to Everest to solve the disappearance of the previous team. But the secret turns out to be far worse than any assumption…
It’s 1924. The expedition to the top of the world’s highest mountain is halted because two participants have shockingly disappeared. By the next year, three climbers—a British poet, a French guide from Chamonix, and an American idealist—set out on a new climb toward the summit. The money for the expedition is donated by Lady Bromley, whose son also disappeared on Mount Everest in 1924. Young Bromley is most likely dead, but his mother refuses to believe it and equips brave men in the hope that they will bring her beloved son home.
Deep in Tibet, the three climbers—joined by the cousin of the missing boy—discover that something has been hunting them all night… or that something is there. Soon, this nightmare becomes a matter of life and death—what is hidden in the snowy mist? And what lies behind the mysterious disappearances? Pushing their way toward “the summit of the world,” the daredevils uncover a secret far more disgusting than any of the most repulsive mythical creatures.
