RCMP inspector Matteesie Kitologitak, the “great brain of Arctic crime,” is drawn into the case surrounding a grisly double murder when the only witness to the crime is revealed to be his mother. With the help of a shaman and his own Inuit background, Matteesie races against time to uncover the truth and protect his family.

Inspector Matteesie first appears in Scott Young’s novel Murder in a Cold Climate.
