Victim of the Aurora by Thomas Keneally

A COMPELLING, POWERFUL NOVEL OF ADVENTURE AND MURDER AMONG ANTARCTIC EXPLORERS

In the waning years of the Edwardian era, a group of gentlemen wait out a raging blizzard in the perpetual darkness of the Antarctic winter, poised for a strike at the South Pole. As the storm lifts, a new challenge faces Captain Sir Eugene Stewart - to discover which of his twenty-five carefully chosen men has become a murderer. The quest for adventure has become a quest for justice.
