The Last to Disappear

by Jo Spain (£16.99, Quercus, HB)

With his estranged sister, Vicky, found dead in Lapland, Alex flies out to Finland to bring her body home. But when he discovers the understaffed and rather junior police team suspect Vicky was actually murdered – and that she’s not the only young woman to go missing in the last few years – Alex decides he must stick around and help crack the case. But with conditions so extreme you can’t be outside for long without succumbing to the cold – is Alex’s rash behaviour helping, or is he just getting in the way of revealing the real killer?
