Falling from the Sky

Published 1 April 2002
It is 1958, and the icy wastes of northern Greenland are in the front line of the cold war when a B-52 bomber goes missing. Over 40 years later a routine flight to Canada vanishes without warning or explanation and Detective Sergeant Tomas Larsen is gradually led into a complex web of plotting, betrayal and murder. But what links a severed finger, a fancy dress party, a university natural history research team, a retired Swedish engineer and the hippy settlement of Christiania? Gradually Larsen's investigations uncover fragments of a dark secret from the distant past. Now, as the Arctic winter closes in, he finds himself in a terrifying race against unknown and merciless adversaries. Death is but a step away.
