Where Blood Runs Cold by Giles Kristian
He and Sofia are not the old couple's only visitors that night - and soon he and Sofia will be running for their lives . ...and beneath the swirling light show of the Northern Lights, a desperate fight ensues - of man against man, of man against nature - a fight for survival that plays out across the snow and ice.
A high speed avalanche of a thriller * THE SUN *
Stunning . . . spell-binding tension. * DAILY MAIL *
A terrific winter chiller set in the unforgiving Norwegian mountain landscape, Where Blood Runs Cold depicts exactly how far we will go to survive - and to protect the ones we love. Utterly gripping. -- AMY McCULLOCH, author of Breathless
Riveting . . . Kristian gives this extended chase a nightmarish intensity.' -- John Williams * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
'Where Blood Runs Cold is a heart-pounding survival thriller set in the starkly beautiful far north of Norway. Gripping and adrenalin-fuelled, yet also written with a tenderness that warms even the most chilling of chases.' -- LUCY CLARKE, author of The Castaways
Impressively sustained . . . echoes of Hammond Innes's tales of adventure . . . even of Michael Crichton. But the strongest element, the crystalline depiction of the Arctic landscape, where the sapping cold is the real enemy, is all the achievement of Kristian . . . also an affecting tribute to paternal love and the power of the human spirit. -- James Owen * THE TIMES 'Thriller of the Month' *
Compulsively readable, and written with real heart - I devoured this. -- SAM LLOYD, author of The Memory Wood
The best Giles Kristian novel so far - and that's setting the bar almost impossibly high. Moving from the past has freed up one of our generations most creative and thoughtful writers to craft a story of generational love, of care and loss, of knowing when to let go of that to which we most want to hold on - and all within the envelope of a narrative thriller that is absolutely of our time and essential to our moving beyond where we are. It's exciting and beautiful, and inspiring and thought-provoking, all in one. Unmissable. -- MANDA SCOTT, author of A Treachery of Spies
'From its slowburn start, Where Blood Runs Cold moves rapidly to become a white-knuckle, explosive ride with more twists and turns than a skiing black run. It takes you to the edge, to the awful 'what would I doto save my child' moment. First class.' -- BEN KANE, author of Lionheart
Giles Kristian takes the reader into the Arctic's terrible beauty with the authenticity of a man who's been there and done that. This is a prescient, hard bitten roller-coaster of a thriller. -- ANTHONY RICHES, author of Nemesis
I think Giles Kristian has a film deal on his hands here. -- GERAINT JONES, author of Blood Forest
Wrap up warm! . . . this is a book which drags you in to its lethal environment. * SHOTS magazine *

Family history (he is half Norwegian) and a passion for the fiction of Bernard Cornwell inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write. Set in the Viking world, his bestselling 'Raven' and 'The Rise of Sigurd' trilogies have been acclaimed by his peers, reviewers and readers alike. In The Bleeding Land and Brothers' Fury, he tells the story of a family torn apart by the English Civil War. He also co-wrote Wilbur Smith's No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. With his Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot, Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. His most recent novel, Camelot, continues his epic reimagining of our greatest island 'history'. Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
