Hallengren had been right. I’d been through bad times. But I’d survived them. What I needed now was a change of scene. My gaze fell upon the travel brochures scattered across the floor. I would take a holiday.
Somewhere warm.
Author’s Note
The Icehotel and Kiruna are real places in Swedish Lapland. Visitors to the Icehotel will recognise many elements in the novel: ice statues, reindeer skins on the beds, antler handles, the Ice Chapel and Ice Theatre, and the Icehotel’s Bar. Possibly even Purple Kiss. This novel, however, is a work of fiction. Therefore much has been invented, including the Excelsior, the Maximilian in Stockholm, and the Italian-designed stone church. It should also be remembered that the Icehotel and its surrounding ice buildings are rebuilt every year, and not always to the same design.
Finally, please note that in this fictional work any similarity to persons, living or dead, is purely co-incidental.
