Set against the treacherous backdrop of a British expedition to the South Pole, the novel chronicles the discovery of a body and the desperate efforts of one man to unmask a killer before the relentless ice claims them all. The isolation of the polar landscape amplifies every tension, every whispered suspicion, as men who depend on one another for survival are forced to confront the darkest corners of human nature.\n\nKeneally — already celebrated for his rich historical imagination — brings his characteristic moral seriousness and atmospheric precision to this tale, weaving together the grand narrative of Edwardian exploration with the intimate mechanics of classic crime fiction. The frozen continent becomes as much a character as any of the men who dare to cross it, indifferent and magnificent, pressing down on the guilty and innocent alike. Signed by the author on the title page, this first edition is a remarkable artefact of one of Australia's most distinguished literary careers — and a novel that leaves the reader questioning whether justice can survive at the ends of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49219867738331,"sku":"2026100009254-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9a345994-8138-4d91-b0b6-51b72cbf6150.png?v=1788482957","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009254-secondhand-a-victim-of-the-aurora-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
