“ In a gripping debut novel,
McGrath (who has written nonfiction
as Melanie McGrath) transports
the reader to a land of almost
incomprehensible cold and an
unfamiliar but fascinating culture. . . .
Expect great things from this series.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“ Engrossing . . . the Arctic is
a big place—big enough, one hopes,
for Edie Kiglatuk to find another
mystery that needs solving.”
—The Associated Press
A gripping new mystery series with
“an Arctic setting so real it’ll give you
frostbite” (Dana Stabenow, author of
A Cold Day for Murder)
White Heat
An Edie Kiglatuk Mystery
M. J. McGrath
Half Inuit and half outsider, Edie Kiglatuk is the best guide—man
or woman—in her corner of the Arctic. While Edie is leading two
tourists on a hunting expedition, one of them is shot and killed.
His death is dismissed as an accident, but when the other man
disappears, Edie sets off into the far reaches of the tundra for answers.
Evocative of Scandinavian bestsellers like Smilla’s Sense of
Snow but claiming a territory all its own, White Heat launches a
formidable new series set amid an unforgiving landscape of ice,
rock, spirit ancestors, and never-rotting bones.
