The Broom of God

Patagonia. Chile. An unexplored mountain range on the edge of the vast continental icecap. A remote basecamp. A brutal murder.
Todd Miller, elite alpinist, is found with an ice-axe buried in his back.
Inspector Juan Antonio Paz is sent from the capital city of Santiago to lead an investigation that will pit him against the rugged landscape and raging storms of Patagonia, the violent political history of Chile, and the dark secrets of an isolated village.
And will test him in ways he never knew possible.
Patagonia: a land of myth, of soaring granite towers, tremendous glaciers, immense lakes, of rugged beauty and hidden cruelty, and a wind so strong it is called the Broom of God.
