  • "Wanneer een gescheiden vrouw, half Inuit/half blank, bij de autoriteiten weinig gehoor krijgt als bij twee expedities twee mannen vermoord worden en haar eigen stiefzoon zelfmoord lijkt te hebben gepleegd, gaat zij zelf op onderzoek uit."
  • "Ellesmere Island, ein paar hundert Kilometer südlich des Nordpols. Eine gewaltige, einsame Eislandschaft. Zwei amerikanische Touristen reisen zu einem Jagdausflug an. Sie werden geführt von Edie Kiglatuk, einer Inuk-Frau und erfahrenen Arktis-Jägerin. Der Ausflug endet für einen der Männer tödlich... (Quelle: Buchdeckel verso)."

  • "On Craig Island, north of the Arctic Circle, Inuit guide Edie Kiglatuk, and Felix Wagner and Andy Taylor are hunting duck. When one of the men is shot dead, the Council of Elders dismiss it as an accident. Then two adventurers arrive in Autisaq to search for the remains of the legendary Victorian explorer Sir James Fairfax. They hire Edie and her 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.

  • "Detective and mystery stories. Nothing on the tundra rotted ... The whole history of human settlement lay exposed there, under that big northern sky. There was nowhere here for bones to hide. 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."
  • "A riveting Arctic mystery that marks the fiction debut of a wickedly talented* writer. (* New York Times ) Half Inuit and 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 who ruled her isolated community on Ellesmere Island. When a man is shot and killed while out on an authentic Arctic adventure under her watch, the murder attracts the attention of police sergeant Derek Palliser. As Edie sets out to discover what those tourists were really after, she is shocked by the suicide of someone very close to her. Though these events are seemingly unrelated, Edie's Inuit hunter sensibility tells her otherwise. With or without Derek's help, she is determined to find the key to this connection-a search that takes her beyond her small village, and into the far reaches of the tundra. White Heat is a stunning debut novel set in an utterly foreign culture amid an unforgiving landscape of ice and rock, of spirit ancestors and never-rotting bones. A suspense-filled adventure story that will captivate fans of Henning Mankell's bestselling mysteries, this book marks the start of an exciting new series."
