Iceland, 1980s.
Sam Craven is confused. That's the word to describe it when the person you fell asleep with isn't there when you wake up. And you find yourself alone and cold, in a remote suburb, in an even more remote and wild country. Especially when you've been tasked with looking out for that very person.
As a journalist-turned-spy, Sam has been sent, somewhat obtusely by the Foreign Office, to Reykjavik to track down the model Solrun, in whom British intelligence have taken a sudden interest. Craven finds himself caught up in a strategic game between two superpowers on the brink of war - and with only his wits to rely on.
Trying to stay alive and one step ahead of a band of ruthless killers, Sam is skating on black ice. One slip and he's dead. Confused he may be, but Sam Craven has just woken up to the greatest adventure of his career.
Black Ice is a classic Cold War thriller, certain to appeal to fans of Jack Higgins, Len Deighton and Ian Fleming.
