Death in a Cold Climate

It was midday on December 21st in the city of Tromsø when the boy was last seen - a tall, blond boy swathed in anorak and scarf against the Arctic noon. After that he wasn't seen again, not until three months later, when Professor Mackenzie's dog started sniffing around in the snow and uncovered a human ear - attached to a naked corpse. Nobody knew who he was, or where he had come from. And after three months it was almost impossible to track down the identity of the corpse. But Inspector Fagermo refused to give up - and as he probed deeper into the Arctic city he began to discover a dangerous conspiracy of blackmail, espionage, and cold-blooded murder.

Era la pranz, pe 21 decembrie, in orasul Tromsø, cand baiatul a fost vazut ultima data - un baiat inalt, blond, imbracat in anorac si esarfa impotriva pranzului arctic. Dupa aceea, nu a mai fost vazut decat dupa trei luni, cand cainele profesorului Mackenzie a inceput sa adulmece in zapada si a descoperit o ureche umana - atasata de un cadavru gol.
