Dark Winter

Plot

"Jed Lewis was the last arrival before winter descended at the South Pole. A geologist who mysterious jettisoned a high-paying job with an oil company - a rock hound come to a place where there are no rocks - he's quickly drawn into controversy over the discovery, and subsequent theft, of a small meteorite that may be a fragment of Mars and worth millions of dollars on the open market. When the meteorite disappears, Lewis is accused. When the killing begins, every piece of evidence points to him." "Suddenly Lewis finds himself with only one ally, a woman to whom he is growing dangerously attracted. But even she has her doubts. With the station buffeted by the murderous Antarctic winter, none of the station's inhabitants can look into another's eyes and not see a potential murderer."--BOOK JACKET.
