In 1944, The Good St. Elias, a massive Navy zeppelin en route to its home port, underwent a mutiny and crashed into Mt. Ys during the greatest blizzard of a generation. Lost for generations, the zeppelin became a legend in Ysbergstand, whose populace over the years spent many an hour pouring over the questions that were raised by the loss of the ship. Why did Lieutenant Samuel Richmond mutiny? What did he hope to accomplish? Who was he running from? And, most importantly, who was he really working for? But the mystery seemed insoluble and The Good St. Elias passed into history......until now.DI Van der Tass got the call from the Navy shortly after the ship's chance discovery. How would you like to solve the mystery of a generation?Who wouldn't've taken the job?But there are dark secrets that lay in the frozen hull of the once-great vessel...and some who were willing to kill to keep them buried and safely anonymous. For there was actually one survivor of the zeppelin's demise. A certain Lt. Richmond, who seemingly disappeared into the thriving Ysbergstad metropolis...and reinvented himself as a powerful figure in the years since.In the City of Ice, not everyone is who they say they are, and trust is but one step away from a bullet in the back of the head. DI Van der Tass may soon come to regret his opportunity of a lifetime...if, that is, he lives long enough to tell what is history...and what is treachery.
