Klappentext

Experience Greenland and the Arctic through the eyes of Constable Petra "Piitalaat" Jensen as she solves the Greenland Missing Persons cases. Ably assisted by Tuukula the seventy-year-old shaman and his five-year-old daughter, Luui, Petra braves the unforgiving climate and the challenges of ice, snow, and sea, to uncover clues and follow leads the length and breadth of the world's largest island: Greenland. These four previously published Greenland Missing Persons novellas follow Petra at the very start of her police career, exploring modern Greenland through Jack Londonesque adventures with a criminal and shamanic twist. The Boy with the Narwhal Tooth When a young Greenlandic boy is reported missing almost 12 months to the day he disappeared, newly trained Police Constable Petra Jensen travels to the far north of Greenland to find him. The Girl with the Raven Tongue When a girl's shoes are found beside a dead raven, and the search for her body is called off, it is left to Police Constable Petra Jensen to close the case and allow the parents to grieve. The Shiver in the Arctic As the temperature plummets and the residents of a remote village shelter during a particularly vicious winter storm, Constable Petra Jensen picks up the pieces of an old case to pass the time until the temperature rises. The Fever in the Water When the water supply in a remote settlement is poisoned, all available evidence suggests the culprit is a man who went missing several years earlier, and it is Constable Petra Jensen's job to find him. The Greenland Missing Persons cases introduce many new and interesting characters from Christoffer Petersen's Greenland crime novels and novellas, together with a few familiar faces making cameo appearances in the series.
