In the waning years of the Edwardian era, a group of English gentleman-adventurers led by Sir Eugene Stewart launched an expedition to reach the South Pole. More than sixty years later, Anthony Piers, a member of the New British South Polar Expedition, finally unveils the truth of their perilous journey, where they encountered raging wind, bitter cold, fierce hunger, absolute darkness - and murder. Set during an epic period of adventure and discovery in the Antarctic, Victim of the Aurora re-creates a thrilling time in an unforgiving place and is a brilliantly plotted tale of psychological suspense.
