Summary

Dr Jaq Silver. Skier, scientist, international jet-setter, explosives expert. She blows things up to keep people safe. 

Working on avalanche control in Slovenia, Jaq stumbles across a problem with a consignment of explosives. After raising a complaint with the supplier, a multinational chemical company, her evidence disappears. Jaq is warned, threatened, accused of professional incompetence and suspended. Taking her complaint further, she narrowly escapes death only to be framed for murder. Escaping from police custody, she sets out to find the key to the mystery.

Racing between the snowy slopes of Slovenia and the ghostly ruins of Chernobyl, can she uncover the truth before her time runs out?

wooden narrative

would have been better with a less stilted narrator, a bit too much stereotyping of characters but plot was ok and flowed well

A Pleasant Surprise

I started this book on a recommendation, and was hooked solidly from about chapter 3

It has kept me company through tough commutes, and I even found myself genuinely concerned for one of the characters wellbeing at points throughout!
