The Chill Factor

Winter in Iceland brings only a few hours of daylight, and a daily bulletin called the Chill Factor tells residents how fast the cold could kill them. The country is also boiling over in a different way. The year is 1971, the Cold War is at its peak, and many Icelanders resent the Americans. The NATO base at Keflavik houses more service members than the nation has local residents, so when a teenage girl turns up dead after a night of drinking, with torn clothing and bruises on her face, suspicion quickly falls on the men stationed there.

Bill Conran, a British agent, has been asked by the Americans to help expose a Soviet espionage network. He soon realises the job is far more dangerous than expected. He cannot tell who is loyal, and an unseen assassin is hunting him. Iceland's stark, frozen landscape hides a growing heat of its own.
