THE ICARUS ASCENT: Ghosts of the Matterhorn


Seven men, seven stories, one mountain...

Join Cardigan author Mike Lewis at the launch of his latest novel.

July 14, 1865: Seven men stand atop the Matterhorn, Switzerland‘s most famous peak. Led by Englishman Edward Whymper, they have beaten a rival Italian party to the summit of ‘The Impossible Mountain‘. Triumph turns to disaster on the descent when young Douglas Hadow, the novice of the party, slips and drags the Rev Charles Hudson, Lord Francis Douglas and guide Michel Croz to their deaths. 

At least that is the conclusion of the official inquiry...
