What you need to know before your trail

In the remote Arctic community of Inussuk, seven graves are dug at the end of each summer, before the ground freezes. As winter approaches, the question is, will they be enough?

When Constable David Maratse is invalided off the force, he moves to a small settlement to live the life of a subsistence hunter and fisherman. But when his long line hooks the body of a politician’s daughter, he finds himself both prime suspect and lead investigator in Greenland’s most sensational murder case.

Travel to Inussuk, Greenland BookTrail style

Inussuk

The graveyard commanded the best view of the mountains in the distance and the settlement nestled in the lap of the mountain below them

Inussuk was trapped between two beaches, one black ans soft, the other shingle, shell and stone. The black beach faced south and east, breaking the waves and absorbing the energy of each story, littered and glittered as it was with gobs of ice the size of the gravediggers’ hands, hearts and heads.”

“Inussuk was shrinking as the graveyard swelled.”
