Description
Set in 1924 at a desolate police outpost on Devon Island in Canada’s far north, this is a story of murder, mystery, and love—intensified by a clash of cultures between Inuit guides and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who live and work alongside them.
About the author
Whit Fraser was inspired to write Cold Edge of Heaven after visiting an abandoned Royal Canadian Mounted Police detachment at Dundas Harbour on Devon Island, which includes three hilltop graves. Fraser is a journalist, author, and viceregal consort of Canadian Governor General Mary Simon. He is winner of the 2019 NorthWords Book Prize for True North Rising.
Editorial Reviews
"Whit Fraser's Cold Edge of Heaven is a hypnotic and fascinating tale of the Far North. Few Canadians know this magical world as well as Fraser, who was for decades the pre-eminent reporter on northern affairs. He writes beautifully and knows his landscape intimately. He also weaves a tale of mystery that is dramatic and compelling. A magnificent page-turner!" Roy MacGregor, author of Canoe Country: The Making of Canada
