White heat

Arctic guide Edie Kiglatuk is only half Inuit, so she has never commanded the full respect of the elders on Ellesmere Island. However, when a tourist is killed under her watch and the police get involved, Edie decides to begin her own investigation. But when a close friend suddenly commits suicide, Edie becomes convinced the tragedy is somehow related to the murder.

  • "Half Inuit, half outsider, Edie Kiglatuk is the best guide in her corner of the Arctic, but as a woman she gets only grudging respect from the elders of her isolated community on Ellesmere Island. When a man is shot and killed while on an "authentic" Arctic adventure under her watch, the murder attracts police sergeant Derek Palliser's attention. As Edie sets out to discover what those tourists were really after, she is shocked by the suicide of someone close to her. The events seem unrelated, but Edie's Inuit hunter sensibility tells her otherwise. With or without Derek's help, she is determined to find the connection -- a search that takes her beyond her small village and into the far reaches of the tundra."

  • "On Craig Island, a vast landscape of ice north of the Arctic Circle, three travellers are hunting duck. Among them is expert Inuit hunter and guide, Edie Kiglatuk; a woman born of this harsh, beautiful terrain. The two men are tourists, experiencing Arctic life in the raw, but when one of the men is shot dead in mysterious circumstances, the local Council of Elders in the tiny settlement of Autisaq is keen to dismiss it as an accident. Then two adventurers arrive in Autisaq hoping to search for the remains of the legendary Victorian explorer Sir James Fairfax. The men hire Edie - whose ancestor Welatok guided Fairfax - along with Edie's stepson Joe, and two parties set off in different directions. Four days later, Joe returns to Autisaq frostbitten, hypothermic and disoriented, to report his man missing. And when things take an even darker turn, Edie finds herself heartbroken, and facing the greatest challenge of her life."
