Publisher's Summary:
No fortress can protect against human corruption, not even the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
Hewn out of a frozen mountain 600 miles from the North Pole, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was designed to safeguard the Earths precious collection of diverse plant seeds from rising sea levels, hurtling asteroids, nuclear holocaust, and every other conceivable disaster. But no fortress, however remote or carefully constructed, can protect against human corruption and those who have made it their business to gain control of the worlds food supply.
When Dinah Pelerin left sunny Hawaii on an undercover fact-finding mission to the seed vault in Longyearbyen, Norway, she had no idea that she would get a crash course in the politics of genetic engineering, that she would become embroiled in the marital troubles of an American presidential candidate and his enigmatic, Norwegian-born wife, or that a dead body would tumble out of the hotel sauna into her arms.
In late December, the polar night wraps around the little town of Longyearbyen like a lead blanket, impenetrable and endless. The temperature rarely climbs above zero, and bodies dont decompose in the permafrost. The dead have to be shipped south for burial, and soon there are two murder victims headed there. Who has killed them, and why?
With three US senators, a powerful corporate CEO, and a Norwegian government minister as her fellow suspects, Dinah is under no illusions about her role. She had better untangle the knot of motives and pretenses fast or suspicion will come crashing down like an avalanche and bury her so deep that shell never see daylight again.
About the author: Jeanne Matthews was born and raised in Georgia. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Journalism. She has worked as a copywriter, high school English and Drama teacher, and as a paralegal. She currently lives in Renton, Washington, with her husband, who is a law professor, and their West Highland terrier, who is a prima donna.

Political horticulture
Being of Norwegian heritage myself, I was interested to read this mystery set in Norway! But I must say, the author seemed very critical of blue-eyed blonds. And the setting was quite hostile--about as far North as you can go! Still, I couldn't put this book down! The story is that interesting and suspenseful! You have a suspicious United States Senator and scary political flunkies to worry about. And the entire future of plants on this planet! And impossible weather to navigate in! The story takes place in the dead of Winter, and everyone there is momentariy isolated due to bad weather conditions. I never knew what was going to happen next! Yet the young woman caught in the middle of the strange intrigue surrounding a murder amidst a political event at the famous seed vault there finds herself staying in a hotel as comfortable as one anywhere in the world. She herself is anything but blond and blue-eyed (she's Native American) and has been living in Hawaii.
