On Craig Island, a vast landscape of ice north of the Arctic Circle, three travellers are hunting duck. Among them is expert Inuit hunter and guide, Edie Kiglatuk; a woman born of this harsh, beautiful terrain. The two men are tourists, experiencing Arctic life in the raw, but when one of the men is shot dead in mysterious circumstances, the local Council of Elders in the tiny settlement of Autisaq is keen to dismiss it as an accident. Then two adventurers arrive in Autisaq hoping to search for the remains of the legendary Victorian explorer Sir James Fairfax. The men hire Edie - whose ancestor Welatok guided Fairfax - along with Edie's stepson Joe, and two parties set off in different directions. Four days later, Joe returns to Autisaq frostbitten, hypothermic and disoriented, to report his man missing. And when things take an even darker turn, Edie finds herself heartbroken, and facing the greatest challenge of her life.

Geliebt und gefürchtet zugleich – das Iditarod, das längste und gefährlichste Schlittenhunderennen der Welt, hat in Anchorage begonnen. Die Arktis-Jägerin Edie Kiglatuk ist zur Unterstützung ihres Exmannes Sammy dabei, der bei dem Rennen startet. Kaum angekommen, entdeckt die Inuk-Frau jedoch eine Babyleiche im Wald, erfroren, in Tücher gewickelt, mit einem umgekehrten Kreuz aus Asche bemalt. Schnell nehmen die Ermittler in Anchorage die Gemeinde der Altgläubigen ins Visier, auf deren Land Edie das tote Baby gefunden hat. Doch Edie glaubt nicht an Opfermorde. Vielmehr führen ihre Ermittlungen in den Umkreis der Protagonisten des Wahlkampfs um den Gouverneursposten von Alaska, der gerade erbittert geführt wird. Während sich Edie mächtige Feinde macht, ist Sammy auf seinem Schlitten in der Wildnis allein unterwegs – jedem Anschlag hilflos ausgeliefert.
