Jo Harper, a successful young journalist, has only her adored two-year-old son, Sam, to remind her of her late partner. When Sam falls ill, there is only one slim hope
- that his stepbrother John may hold the key to his survival. But John has disappeared. Seeking absolution for his part in the accidental death of his marine archeologist father & tortured by their failed relationship, John has set out alone against impossible odds to fulfil his father's dream
- to uncover the last traces of the Franklin expedition, which vanished in the Arctic in 1847 while searching for the North West Passage.
As uncanny parallels begin to unfold between the last days of the Franklin crew & the crisis facing Sam, Jo is plunged into a desparate race against time to save both the life of her son & the soul of her stepson.
Beautifully written & deeply moving, THE ICE CHILD is storytelling at its very best.

A fairy tale for grown ups, which brings together, as only Hoffman can, the fabulous & the real, chaos theory & the irrational everyday moment, in a compelling, haunting & sexy novel, with a sharp edge. The story begins with a little girl who makes a wish one snowy night & ruins her life. She grows up with a splinter of ice in her heart until one day, standing by her kitchen window, she is struck by lightning.

Instead of killing her, this cataclysmic event sparks off a new beginning. She seeks out Lazarus Jones, a fellow lightning survivor. He is her opposite, a burning man whose breath can boil water & whose touch scorches. As an obsessive love affair begins between them, both are forced to hide their most dangerous secrets
- what turned one to ice & the other to fire. The Ice Queen is a haunting story of passion, loss, second chances & the secrets that come to define us, if we're not careful.
