The Glacial Alibi

About this book

Silas Mercer was once the brightest investigative mind in the Northern Syndicate, until a fabricated scandal stripped him of his rank and exiled him to Aegis Deep, an isolated, hyper-industrialized Arctic outpost. Resigned to a life of cataloging thermal suits in disgrace, his punishment is interrupted when a station geologist is found frozen solid inside an extraction drill. Ruled a tragic accident by the corrupt station authorities, Silas recognizes the unmistakable signature of foul play. Driven by a lingering sense of justice and his razor-sharp deductive instincts, he launches an unsanctioned investigation. Partnering with a skeptical ice-core analyst, Silas navigates a treacherous labyrinth of doctored ledgers, failing life-support systems, and systemic corporate sabotage. As a massive polar storm traps the colony in a whiteout, Silas must race against the ticking clock of his own past catching up to him. Navigating a circular sequence of events that begin and end with him holding a smoking flare gun on the ice shelf, Silas must expose the architects of the outpost's corruption before he is silenced permanently.
