Ian Galloway findet eine fürchterlich zugerichtete Frau bei Schneetreiben im Straßengraben liegend. Als sie nach wochenlangem Koma endlich zu Bewusstsein kommt, kann sie sich weder an ihren Namen noch an das Geschehene erinnern. Ian gelingt es, ihr Vertrauen zu gewinnen und verliebt sich Hals über Kopf in die Unbekannte. Zusammen mit seinen besten Freunden, Chirurg Tom Melbourne und Ex-Seal Red Garred, stellt er Nachforschungen an, die aber mehr Fragen als Antworten aufwerfen. Warum behauptet die Polizei, dass Melissa Coleman zusammen mit ihrem Ehemann bei einer Wohnungsexplosion ums Leben kam, da sie ja offensichtlich noch lebt? Ist ihr Mann vielleicht auch noch am Leben und wenn ja, wo ist er? Und warum taucht der Immobilienmogul Daniel Haig, dessen Name auch mit illegalem Glückspiel und der Prostituition in Verbindung gebracht wird, immer wieder bei ihren Ermittlungen auf? Melissas seelischer Zustand verschlechtert sich zusehens und Tom bittet seinen langjährigen Freund Pete Sullivan, den FBI-Profiler inoffiziell um Hilfe. Als Tom von Haigs Leuten zusammengeschlagen wird, aktiviert Red seine komplette damalige Seal-Einheit. Ein Wettlauf auf Leben und Tod entbrennt, da Haig vor nichts zurückschreckt, um Melissa in seine Finger zu bekommen, und Ians Liebe wird auf eine harte Probe gestellt.

We have been cruising and exploring polar waters since the nineteenth century, but very little has been written about them. Drawing on expert research, Of Penguins and Polar Bears seeks to rectify this, and looks at activity in both the Antarctic and Arctic waters – the homes of the penguins and the polar bears – to provide insight into how the passenger trades developed in these regions. With over a hundred stunning pictures, this is a must-have gazetteer for anyone thinking about cruising the Earth's 'last frontier'. From William Bradford's cruise to Greenland in a seal-hunting boat in 1869 to the newest builds of the twenty-first century, let Arctic expert Christopher Wright take you on a journey through lands less travelled.
