Cold edge of heaven : a story of love and murder in Canada's Arctic

Fraser, Whit (author.).

Summary: Abandoned at a desolate Arctic outpost and haunted by memories of forbidden desire, Constable Will Grant preserves his sanity by investigating the mysterious deaths of two troubled Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers. 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.

Few people have experienced the high arctic as extensively and as personally as author Whit Fraser. For more than 50 years, beginning as a CBC reporter, his work has taken him to every part of the Canadian Arctic as well as Alaska and Greenland. Over that period, he visited the barren but beautiful, old RCMP detachment at Dundas Harbor, on Devon Island in the Northwest Passage five times. On his most recent trip in 2019, he spent several hours at an abandoned RCMP detachment, and three lonely graves on a hill top, he came away inspired to write this fictional account of life and death, love and lust in Canada's last and frozen frontier.
