Where Blood Runs Cold

A high speed avalanche of a thriller. * THE SUN *Stunning … spell-binding tension. * DAILY MAIL *A terrific winter chiller set in the unforgiving Norwegian mountain landscape, Where Blood Runs Cold depicts exactly how far we will go to survive - and to protect the ones we love. Utterly gripping. – AMY McCULLOCH, author of BreathlessRiveting … Kristian gives this extended chase a nightmarish intensity.’ – John Williams * MAIL ON SUNDAY *‘Where Blood Runs Cold is a heart-pounding survival thriller set in the starkly beautiful far north of Norway. Gripping and adrenalin-fuelled, yet also written with a tenderness that warms even the most chilling of chases.’ – LUCY CLARKE, author of The CastawaysImpressively sustained … echoes of Hammond Innes’s tales of adventure … even of Michael Crichton. But the strongest element, the crystalline depiction of the Arctic landscape, where the sapping cold is the real enemy, is all the achievement of Kristian … also an affecting tribute to paternal love and the power of the human spirit. – James Owen * THE TIMES ‘Thriller of the Month’ *Compulsively readable, and written with real heart - I devoured this. – SAM LLOYD, author of The Memory WoodThe best Giles Kristian novel so far - and that’s setting the bar almost impossibly high. Moving from the past has freed up one of our generations most creative and thoughtful writers to craft a story of generational love, of care and loss, of knowing when to let go of that to which we most want to hold on - and all within the envelope of a narrative thriller that is absolutely of our time and essential to our moving beyond where we are. It’s exciting and beautiful, and inspiring and thought-provoking, all in one. Unmissable. – MANDA SCOTT, author of A Treachery of Spies‘From its slowburn start, Where Blood Runs Cold moves rapidly to become a white-knuckle, explosive ride with more twists and turns than a skiing black run. It takes you to the edge, to the awful ‘what would I doto save my child’ moment. First class.’ – BEN KANE, author of LionheartGiles Kristian takes the reader into the Arctic’s terrible beauty with the authenticity of a man who’s been there and done that. This is a prescient, hard bitten roller-coaster of a thriller. – ANTHONY RICHES, author of Nemesis

Family history (he is half Norwegian) and a passion for the fiction of Bernard Cornwell inspired GILES KRISTIAN to write. Set in the Viking world, his bestselling ‘Raven’ and ‘The Rise of Sigurd’ trilogies have been acclaimed by his peers, reviewers and readers alike. In The Bleeding Land and Brothers’ Fury, he tells the story of a family torn apart by the English Civil War. He also co-wrote Wilbur Smith’s No.1 bestseller, Golden Lion. His contemporary survival thriller, Where Blood Runs Cold, won the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize. With his Sunday Times bestseller Lancelot, Giles plunged into the rich waters of the Arthurian legend. His epic reimagining of our greatest island ‘history’ continued in Camelot and draws to a breath-taking close with Arthur.

Giles Kristian lives in Leicestershire.
