Under the Frozen Grove

Millennia ago, the crest of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine was sheeted by perennial ice like the Alps. Plants, animals, and humans were different, and the sky looked different as well. It was another world, yet it was our own. We know already a lot about it, yet still very little... 

"Under the Frozen Grove" is a classic Call of Cthulhu scenario set in Italy during the early 1930s.

The apparent suicide of an Italian civil engineer on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine and the disappearance of his hiking companion, a British citizen, turned into a mystery – nobody knows what really happened to them during a walk on the hills between Bologna and Florence.

Due to its unusual circumstances, the case is under close scrutiny by the fascist authorities. Still, local police aren’t making any appreciable progress.

Answering the call of British diplomats and quirky Italian academics, the investigators begin looking for clues in the Mediterranean Summer heat, until a gust of cold air and a shiver down the spine suddenly remind them what the weather was like a long, long time before.
