The murder of a young Haida carver reawakens sibling rivalries best forgotten and sends Meg Harris and her husband, Eric Odjik, to Haida Gwaii in search of the boy's family and his killer. She unravels a tangle of betrayal and clan rivalries that not only reach back to when the Haida were mighty warriors, but continue to the present day.
Fans of the earlier books in the series will give this one an enthusiastic thumbs-up, and it will work fine as a jumping-off point for new readers.
R.J. Harlick's love for Canada's untamed wilds is the inspiration for the six-book Meg Harris series. The fourth in the series, Arctic Blue Death, was shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for best crime novel. She lives in Ottawa.
By showing both sides of the Indian-versus-European cultural dispute, [Harlick] wisely avoids the trap of painting one side?s history as pure evil, the other?s as sinless. This even-handedness brings complexity and depth to what could have been a mere diatribe. Instead, we get a superb novel that lends itself to reread after reread.
This is the best Harlick yet.
Harlick?s prose and characterization is as competent as ever and the slow reveal of the reasons why Allistair was murdered is skillfully handled.
