about this book

When a terrorist infiltration overtakes the Yukon Arctic Ultra — the most challenging human-powered race in the world — Auxiliary RCMP Markus Fanger leads a manhunt for North America’s most imminent threat. With the help of Donjek Stoneman, a young offender attempting to clean up his life by serving as a race official, Fanger traces the menace through the frozen northland of Dawson City, Yukon to Fort Greely, Alaska, where a desperate man seeks vengeance against the United States government. From Ice to Ashes is a fast-paced thriller thattransports the mystery genre into an area seldom explored in North American literature.

“From Ice to Ashes is a welcome addition to arctic fiction; the terrain and weather are as treacherous as the multi-faceted antagonist. Simon is a promising new author and I look forward to her next book.”
—Jan Harper Haines, author of Cold River Spirits

“Jessica Simon catapults her characters on a trailblazing trip over The Top of the World, from Canada’s Yukon into Alaska. A real page-turner!”

“Packed with thrills. Markus Fanger makes a perfect modern hero as he and a young offender head off a terrorist threat designed to shoot ice down your spine.”
—Lou Allin, author of the Belle Palmer Mysteries

"Simon is so good at conveying this environment you instinctually bundle up and then check the thermostat when you take a break from this easy to read and very interesting novel ... Jessica Simon has written an excellent, quick paced, original thriller." —The Mystery Site
