"[A] powerful thriller that is thoroughly engrossing, packed with surprises, and steeped in the culture and atmosphere of both Russia and a remote mountain world filled with intrigue"—Midwest Book Review

A real life mystery now solved. Or is it?
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020
In 1959, Nine russian hikers camping in a remote part of Siberia, led by Igor Dyatlov, leave their tent during a blizzard and a few days later rescuers find all nine dead in mysterious. circumstances. Despite numerous investigations the mysery has never been satisfactorily solved. So far the story is true. Look up Dyatlov Pass on Wikipedia. The book splits into two overlapping narratives. The first follows the journey of the doomed hikers from their start in Yekateringurg Siberia to their deaths at Death Mountain Pass, renamed Dyatlorv pass in their memory. You can still see their memorial there today (See picture above from Wikipedia) . The other strand follows a modern party who are on an expedition to visit the pass and solve the mystery where previous investigations have failed. Throughout the story is illustrated by genuine photographs from 1959 many taken by the hikers themselves as their expedition proceeds. We come to identify with them on their journey and this really adds to our ivolvement in their story and their deaths. The modern expedition finally solves the mystery. Is this the true answer? Read the book and decide for yourselves. I have given this five stars for the plot, the ingenious way reality and fiction are blended, the characters, who are both well-drawn and engage our sympathy, the excellent written style and the descriptions of the Siberian landscapes. The book is billed as horror, but, despite some violent scenes, I think this is not correct. To my mind it is an ingenious and sensitive tale well told and well worth reading. I recommend it highly.
