The Bone Seeker

I very much enjoyed The Bone Seeker by M.J. McGrath.  It is set in the Arctic in an Inuit community.  A young girl goes missing and teacher, Edie Kiglatuk, asks her police friend Derek Palliser to investigate.  The reader learns a lot about the native culture in the region which I found very interesting.  The names were a bit difficult.  Edie and Derek discover a disturbing truth about how major world powers have abused and misused the area where the Inuit live.  These powers go to great lengths to ensure the public does not discover what happened. 4/5
