NIGHT WITHOUT END
Men who uve and work in the endless nights of the Polar ice-cap have to be tough. They have to know how to survive in conditions that would kill most of us in a few hours —temperatures many degrees below freezing, snow storms and ice blizzards, savage winds that blow for hours on end.
Peter Mason, J ackstraw, and Joss are experienced in these conditions. They understand thedangers of the cold, the winds, the storms. They understand and trust each other. A man’s life often depends on his friends. But when a passenger airliner crashes on the ice-cap near their remoteweather station, they soon realize that a new danger has entered their already dangerous world. There are four dead men on the plane, but two of them died from bullets, not from the crash. Soon a fifth mandies. The ten survivors seem like ordinary people. But are they? Who is doing the killing. . . and why?
