In the Barrens, a vast wilderness in northern Canada bordering the Arctic Circle, night consumes every hour of the winter. Humans are scarce; ferocious predators roam freely. Locals say spirits do, too.
Rookie cop Tana Larsson doesn't mind the dark and quiet. Five months pregnant and hoping to escape the mistakes of her past, she takes a post in Twin Rivers, population 320. Maybe here she can find peace and community for her child.
But with her superior out of commission, Tana becomes the sole police officer in 17,500 square miles. One bitter night, she gets a call about the fatal wolf mauling of two students, and the only way to reach the remote scene is to enlist the help of the arrogant, irritatingly handsome Cameron "Crash" O'Halloran, a local bush pilot with a shady reputation for smuggling and a past cloaked in shadow.
When the macabre scene they uncover suggests violence much more sinister than animal, Tana must trust Crash if she wants to protect the town - and herself - from the evil that lurks in the frozen dark.

I really enjoyed this unusual thriller. At first I considered abandoning it because the main character, Constable Larson, was very hard to like. She was judgmental, intolerant, and downright prickly. However, as the story progressed it became clear that she was also courageous, smart, and compassionate. She had a pretty big pile of baggage that she was carting around. I thought the narrator did a good job, managing various accents and genders.
One of the things that makes this story unusual is the setting, the far north. Also, the author uses an interesting blend of multiple cultural details and native lore to add flavour to the story.
I thought the depiction of life in an isolated community was pretty accurate, as was the odd collection of personalities and social rules.
The only thing that bugged me in this book was a very minor quibble, the repeated use of the word 'fortnight'. It know it seems petty but its really jarring. I have never met a Canadian or an American who uses that word in their everyday speech yet Crash used it two or three times within a couple of days.
Unusual setting, great story.
