About this ebook

It is autumn 1936. Clouds of war are gathering in Europe and the Fascists are covertly assessing possible nuclear resources in Scandinavia. High-flying Cambridge nuclear scientist Dr Dulcie Bennett travels to northern Norway to join an elite group of researchers eager to unlock the secrets of the atom. She makes a startling breakthrough on an experiment but a suspicious lab explosion derails her plans. As she investigates, she encounters troubled Canadian journalist John Kirkwall, in Sohlberg on a personal quest, and they are drawn to each other despite initial misunderstandings.

As winter grips, they become embroiled in a shady world of murky political skulduggery and sexual intrigue, populated by spies, saboteurs, neurotic academics and secret police in a tense race where the victor could tilt the balance of power in Hitler's favour.

Pamela Kelt

What can you do after a degree in 17th-century Spanish comic drama? Go into translating, journalism, publishing, copywriting and ultimately writing. I'm now a freelance author and editor with experience in books, newspapers, magazines, digital content and layout. After a couple of years as a thwarted translator, I contrived to move into journalism and have more than 20 years of experience in provincial newspapers, educational publishing and lifestyle magazines. My areas of expertise include copywriting, editing, formatting, picture research, design and proofreading. I'm also an author with eight books published in various genres – YA fiction, historical mystery, modern adult fantasy and contemporary fiction. Interests include art, design, botany, history, cinema, cookery, murder mysteries and film noir. Among others.
