"Tension to the very end" - L'Express
To find the child they must survive the storm
A blizzard rages in an isolated corner of Alaska. Few inhabitants live in this desolate place. Scattered across the vast, white expanse, they shelter in solitude from the tempest and the extreme cold. But amid this storm and far from home, a woman walks alone with the child.
She stops for a moment to re-tie the laces of her boots filled with snow. Instants later she looks up and the child under her care has vanished. In desperation she searches for him, knowing that every minute that goes by in this snowstorm is a threat to both of their lives. Soon she is joined in the hunt by the other neighbours. And as the search intensifies to save the missing child from certain death, she too will become the object of pursuit.
Blizzard is a gripping thriller, quiet and unnerving at first, but then building to a breath-taking climax.

Descriere
'The Alaskan wilds are the setting for Marie Vingtras's compelling Blizzard ... a chilling, tense read' - Observer
Winner of Prix Des Libraires, the French Booksellers' Prize for Best Novel of the Year.
An Observer Crime and thriller of the month
I lost him. I let go of his hand to do up my shoelaces and I lost him ...
As a blizzard rages in the vast, white expanse of the Alaskan wilderness, a woman walks alone with a child. No-one sees her as she stops to tie her laces. Seconds later, the child has vanished.
In the snow, every minute counts. Soon, each of the very few neighbours joins the search to find the boy before it's too late. As their hunt intensifies, connections are made, their secrets unearthed, and it seems that freezing to death is not the only danger they fear in this isolated edge of the world.
