Guardian Bookshop Notes:

From the author of "Boy A", which won the 2004 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and is now a major feature film, this is an evocation of the world of extreme sports, set in Chamonix in France. Deep powder, dead poets and moral free-fall converge in the death-sport capital of the world. 'Does for extreme winter sports what Alex Garland's "The Beach" did for backpacking' "Financial Times"

Publisher's description:

It was thanks to Lord Byron that Itchy ended up living in Chamonix Mont Blanc, among the high mountains and low morals. Now a serial rapist is stalking Cham's tourist-thronged streets, haunting the same shadows as Itchy and triggering an obsession which will lead him far from Europe's zenith, to the depths of the valley and himself.
