The Ice Cage — a Scandinavian Crime Thriller Set in the Nordic Winter (The Baltic Trilogy)
“I was completely numb; crushed by the cold, gasping for air, imploding. My limbs felt thick; my feet were gone; my hands too stiff to move. I kept trying to cling onto the cage, or I imagined I did, because my movements were futile compared to the effort I felt I was making.
Locking eyes with Anna’s pain, I saw my father and the images of my father’s death mixed in with my own. It was as if I was dying with him. I fought, clung, slipped, and climbed, frantically, in vain. Boeck wasn’t even ...looking at me. He was staring at Anna. My death had no purpose. Not for me, but of course to Boeck it was loaded with meaning. I was dying to provoke the atrocious emotions reflected in Anna’s expression. He had revived her, but would he bother to revive me? Would there be a point? I didn’t know but it gave me some hope. It was false hope – I had to die to live, to find out whether Boeck would resuscitate me. If he did, what new experiment did he have in store? I was wasting my last few seconds of consciousness on speculation.MoreLess
