An American documentary film maker becomes obsessed with the 1959 deaths of nine Soviet hikers who mysteriously fled the shelter of their tent without proper clothing, only to die of hypothermia. Speculation ranging from aliens to secret Soviet weapons tests has swirled around this case for decades. Eichar painstakingly pieces together the events as they occurred and - taking a cue from Sherlock Holmes - tries to eliminate all the possible causes in order to leave the one explanation (however improbable) that addresses all the strange pieces of evidence. A well-written page turner.
