More about the book

One snowy day in Copenhagen, six-year-old Isaiah falls to his death from a city rooftop. The police pronounce it an accident. But Isaiah's neighbour, Smilla, suspects murder. She embarks on a dangerous quest to find the truth, following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow. 'A subtle novel, yet direct, clever, wistful, unforgettable' Ruth Rendell, Daily Telegraph 'On one level, both a whodunit and a thriller - ingeniously plotted. Extremely hard to put down. Peter H�eg's novel is already making for classic status' Sunday Times 'Unusual and enveloping. Extraordinarily evocative, atmospheric and poetic' Sunday Times 'An Arctic tale worthy of Conrad' New Statesman 'A cracker...hard to put down' Edmund White
