As White As Snow

Three and a half months have passed since Lumikki Andersson was left for dead in a snowdrift - a bullet wound in her thigh and frostbite creeping into her skin. But the scorchingly hot streets of Prague in summer provide a welcome contrast to that terrifying time, and now Lumikki just wants to move on - forget the events of the past year, forget about the Polar Bear;s crime ring - and escape her parent;s oppressive concern... She;s alone again, which is just how she likes it.

But Lumikki;s peaceful solitude is about to be shattered. She is approached on the street by a nervous young woman, who, unbelievably, thinks she might be Lumikki;s long-lost sister. Lumikki is unconvinced - although Zelenka;s story seems to ring horrifyingly true - but there;s something weird about her. Something jumpy, and suspicious.

Turns out Lumikki is right to be wary, as Zelenka is part of a dangerous religious cult who believe they are descendants of Christ - and that Lumikki is one of them, and must be ;martyred; alongside them. On the run for her life again, Lumikki must once more draw on her all her powers of resolve and strength if she is to survive.
