Compelling near-future Scandinavian noir – fast-paced and wholly original 

The year is 2068. In Eldísvík city state, on the edge of the Arctic Circle, a police ‘decoy’ agent, shadowed by her trained pack of genetically altered foxes, contravenes orders and slaughters members of a criminal cartel.

Inspector Nero Cavallo must hunt this unidentified decoy agent down before the fragile balance between the legitimate and criminal worlds erupts into chaos.

Meanwhile, Bruno Mastriano, a young man hiding his telepathic powers, struggles to escape a gang of militants intent on exploiting his gift for themselves. When a beautiful trainee joins Nero’s homicide team, things begin to unravel.

The first book in a new trilogy set in a dark, cold Nordic city of the near future. A world where heat is power, foxes are deadly and the line between the criminal underworld and the police is as thin as a crack in the ice.
