Razor-sharp, psychological thriller set in a snowy Arctic wilderness. “They say that dead men tell no tales, but they’re wrong. Even the dead tell stories.” It's 1910. In a cabin north of the Arctic Circle, in a place murderously cold and desolate, Sig Andersson is alone. Except for the corpse of his father, frozen to death that morning when he fell through the ice on the lake. The cabin is silent, so silent, and then there's a knock at the door. It's a stranger, and as his extraordinary story of gold dust and gold lust unwinds, Sig's thoughts turn more and more to his father's prized possession, a Colt revolver, hidden in the storeroom. A revolver just waiting to be used...but should Sig use it, or not?
