Mystery about disappearance of her cousin Willa who has written in code of a shout for help brings the protagonist to Scandinavia and then more north into remote regions of the land, attempting to discover if Willa is safe or even alive - the police see no reason to panic, but the cousin knows better, they had a code set up long ago.
Colourful mystery and suspense. With romance as well.
These are some of the books I read during last half a century or so, and some of the thoughts, questions, reactions and insights, emotions - and so forth -, evoked on reading them, either then or later sometime during the interim years and decades, or even thinking over now, that are summed up here while trying to record my impressions about what I read.
