She thinks more highly of snow and ice than she does of love. She lives in a world of numbers, science and memories--a dark, exotic stranger in a strange land. And now Smilla Jasperson is convinced she has uncovered a shattering crime....
It happened in the Copenhagen snow. A six year old boy, a Greelander like Smilla, fell to his death from the top of his apartment building. While the boy's body is still warm the police pronounce it an accident. But Smilla knows her young neighbor didn't fall from the rooftop on his own.

For her dead neighbor and for herself, she must embark on a harrowing journey of lies, revelation and violence that will take her back to the world of ice and snow from which she comes, where an explosive secret waits beneath the ice.....
