About this ebook
"Robin Triggs does a good job setting up a climate of suspicion in Night Shift, and the book has some genuinely chilling moments." - Crime Review
Antarctica. A mining base at the edge of the world.
Anders Nordvelt, last-minute replacement as head of security, has no time to integrate himself into the crew before an act of sabotage threatens the project. He must untangle a complex web of relationships from his position as prime suspect.
Then a body is found in the ice. Systems fail as the long night falls. Now Anders must do more than find a murderer: he must find a way to survive.
Will anyone endure the night shift, or will ice and frozen corpses be all that remains?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting premise in an intriguing setting. There is some good writing in this book, some excellent passages and turns of phrase, but I have to say it didn't really grab me.I think it's mostly because I didn't like the main character. He came across as passive and weak, and lacked the hidden strength (or other traits) that would have rounded him out. I just couldn't connect with him or feel sorry for him.I also guessed at the main gist of the twist fairly early on. There were some unexpected aspects to that reveal, but being able to see what was probably happening took away a lot of the suspense.Many thanks to Flame Tree Press for the ARC.
