Un roman un peu moins violent que certains précédemment publiés. Comme de nombreux auteurs désormais, la mise en place prend 90% de l'écriture et le dénouement est achevé vite fait en 1 ou 2 chapitres à peine.

Un grand voyage, une immersion en fait, dans le Groenland, sa population et ses traditions, pour un enquêteur aux racines et passé complexes. Quelques longueurs, mais IMHO captivant !
