Eine Siedlung am Fuß des Bergs Inussuk. Dreiundvierzig Erwachsene leben hier, zwölf Kinder. Noch, denn der Friedhof wächst, während das Dorf schrumpft. Die Verdienstmöglichkeiten sind schlecht, die jungen Leute wandern in die größeren Orte an der Westküste ab. In eins der leer stehenden Häuser zieht Constable David Maratse. Bei seinem letzten Einsatz in der grönländischen Hauptstadt Nuuk wurde der Polizist so schwer verletzt, dass er dienstuntauglich erklärt und frühpensioniert wurde – und das mit nicht mal vierzig. Er lässt alles zurück, was er besitzt, will künftig nichts weiter tun als Fischen und Jagen. In Inussuk aufgewachsen ist Nivi Winther, inzwischen Vorsitzende der grönländischen Sozialdemokraten und amtierende Premierministerin. Als mitten im Wahlkampf ihre siebzehnjährige Tochter Tinka spurlos verschwindet, beauftragt sie Maratse, den Fall zu übernehmen. Winthers größter Konkurrent ist Malik Uutaaq, der eine neue nationale Identität und die Unabhängigkeit Grönlands propagiert und als machtgieriger Populist gilt. Und er soll die letzte Person sein, die das Mädchen lebend gesehen hat …

UN ASESINATO QUE PUEDE HACER CAER EL GOBIERNO DE GROENLANDIADespués de haber sido torturado por un criminal, el agente David Maratse apenas puede caminar sin dolor. Incapacitado para ser policía en Nuuk, la capital de Groenlandia, decide retirarse a una pequeña población de la costa oriental. Allí, cada verano los habitantes cavan siete tumbas antes de que el interminable invierno endurezca la tierra, con la esperanza de que sean demasiadas. Ese año, sin embargo, no podían imaginar que aparecería el cadáver de una joven en las gélidas aguas árticas. Su asesinato puede cambiar el destino de la mayor isla del mundo y obligará a Maratse a abandonar su retiro forzoso.

Durante una excursión por la tundra del este de Groenlandia, el policía retirado David Maratse se topa con un yate misteriosamente varado en el hielo. Al subirse a la embarcación, se encuentra con rastros de sangre en la cubierta. Parte de la tripulación ha muerto, otra yace herida e inconsciente. Y hay un desaparecido. Aunque reticente a abandonar su vida tranquila, Maratse es contratado para investigar el espinoso caso, cuyas consecuencias van más allá de los límites de la inmensa isla helada.

When uninvited guests from resource-stripping Harvest Inc. arrive at a secret wildlife station in the far north, Luui Angakkuarneq, the shaman's daughter, must get help from both the natural and the spiritual world if she is to save the last wild polar bear in the Arctic. Set during the 2042 Christmas season, this novella reunites readers with Luui Angakkuarneq, better known as the five-year-old shaman's daughter from the Greenland Missing Persons series of novels and novellas. Luui, now 27, lives a solitary life in the High Arctic, committed to doing everything she can to protect and preserve a dwindling population of flora and fauna threatened by the accelerated effects of climate change. Living so far from civilisation also allows Luui to embrace the magic part of her life: shamanism, and her connection to the spiritual world. Yule at Aurora Station is different from Christoffer Petersen's other works in that it explores an even more fantastical element with characters drawn from and inspired by Greenlandic mythology. Criminal acts are committed in this story, but readers looking for police procedurals or detective work set in the so-called real world will be disappointed. There's none of that here. Only magic. Pick up Yule at Aurora Station and help Luui work her magic this festive season!
