** WINNER OF THE 2022 WILBUR SMITH ADVENTURE WRITING PRIZE ** THE TIMES' THRILLER OF THE MONTH
'A heart-pounding survival thriller set in the starkly beautiful far north of Norway. Gripping
and adrenalin-fuelled yet also written with a tenderness that warms even the most chilling of
chases.' LUCY CLARKE author of The Castaways Erik Amdahl and his spirited daughter Sofia
have embarked on a long-promised cross-country ski trip deep into Norway's arctic circle. For
Erik it's the chance to bond properly with his remaining daughter following a tragic accident.
For Sofia it's the proof she needs that her father does care. Then far from home in this
snowbound wilderness with night falling and the mercury plummeting an accident sends them in
search of help - and shelter. Nearby is the home of a couple - members of Norway's indigenous
Sami people - who they've met before and who welcome them in. Erik is relieved. He believes
the worst is over. He thinks that Sofia is now safe. He could not be more wrong. Because he and
Sofia are not the old couple's only visitors that night - and soon he and his daughter will be
running for their lives . . . And beneath the swirling light show of the Northern Lights a
desperate fight ensues - of man against man of man against nature - a fight for survival that
plays out across the snow and ice. A story of endurance and of the desperate instinctive will
to survive of a father's love for his child of knowing when to let go - and of a daughter's
determination to prove herself worthy of that love Where Blood Runs Cold is a pulse-racing
thriller from a master storyteller. 'A terrific winter chiller . . . utterly gripping.' AMY
McCULLOCH author of Breathless
