Edie Kiglatuk's Christmas

Days before Christmas in the vast Arctic landscape of Ellesmere Island and the sun hasn't come up for nearly two months. A hunter comes upon a body in the snow: head crusted with frozen blood, bruised fists, half dead. What others might have dismissed as a case of drunken misadventure, sometime-detective Edie Kiglatuk sees as a fight turned fatal.

When the battered victim doesn't pull through, the alleged culprit goes into hiding and the victim's three-year-old daughter goes missing with him. Since Edie has strong personal ties to the killer, it's up to her to find him before a rifle-slinging search party beats her to it, taking justice into their own hands.

A stunning short mystery with a magical and heart-rending twist, Edie Kiglatuk's Christmas includes excerpts from the first two novels in the series, White Heat and The Boy in the Snow.
