Valerie Chesterfield is a linguist trained in dead Nordic languages. She leads a sheltered life and languishes in the shadow of her twin brother Andy, an accomplished climate scientist stationed on a remote island off Greenland's barren coast. When he willfully ventured unprotected into 50 degree below zero weather, Val is inconsolable-- and suspects foul play. Then Wyatt, a fellow researcher in the Arctic, discovers a scientific impossibility -- a young girl frozen in the ice who thaws out alive, speaking a language no one understands. Under the auspices of helping Wyatt interpret the girl's speech, Val journeys to the Arctic to solve the mystery of her brother's death. - adapted from jacket |
