Icebound by Dean Koontz

A WIDESPREAD DROUGHT IS CAUSING MURDEROUS FAMINE.

There is only one solution: giant masses of Arctic ice must be moved south to parched coastlines and melted for water.

In an Arctic icefield, a special team of eight scientists has planted a number of powerful bombs to split the ice from the polar pack. The explosives will detonate automatically at midnight. But before the team can withdraw to the safety of their base camp, a shattering tidal wave leaves them marooned on an iceberg during the worst winter storm of the decade.

The bombs in the ice beneath are ticking . . . and they are soon to discover a killer in their midst, hell-bent on a strange mission of his own.
