'Hypnotically good ' Lee Child 'A stunning debut' Daily Mail 'A life-affirming read' Daily Express 'A gritty debut thriller' Irish Independent 'One of the finest debuts of the year' Donald Ray Pollock 'Rich in atmosphere and relentlessly suspenseful' Michael Koryta ---------------------------------------------------- AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, CAN JUSTICE STILL BE FOUND? After a botched high-profile murder investigation, Sergeant Elderick Cole is exiled to the remote, rugged landscape of Nunavut, a vast territory in the Arctic Circle known for its untamed beauty, frigid temperatures, and endless winter nights. His bleak existence takes a sinister turn when he discovers the hanging body of Pitseolala, a troubled Inuit girl whom he had sworn to protect. Her death dredges up demons he thought he'd buried along with the scars of a fractured marriage and the aching divide between himself and his estranged daughter. As Cole's life unravels - and with it, the fragile thread of his investigation - he turns to Pitseolala's younger brother, Maliktu, a fellow outsider. It's then that Cole uncovers what binds them: a singular mission to find her killer. Against fierce backlash, Cole's overriding desire to redeem just one aspect of his otherwise failed life becomes an obsession - and he's willing to break every rule in his unyielding pursuit of justice and the smallest shred of redemption. ---------------------------------------------------- 'A haunting, immersive, moving story-told by an expert, with great authority and emotion' Richard Thomas, Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson, and Thriller Award finalist 'There's a river of warmth running under this icy, Arctic thriller, with a big bang of an ending you won't soon forget' Rene Denfeld '[A] stunning debut . . . It's a knockout' Publishers Weekly, starred review
