McGrath’s debut novel, <i>White Heat</i>, earned both fans and favorable comparisons to bestselling Scandinavian thrillers such as <i>Smilla’s Sense of Snow</i> and the Kurt Wallander series.<br><br>In <i>The Boy in the Snow</i>, half-Inuit Edie Kiglatuk finds herself in Alaska with Sergeant Derek Palliser, helping her ex-husband Sammy in his bid to win the famous Iditarod dog sled race. The race takes a grim turn when Edie stumbles upon the body of a baby left out in the forest. The state troopers are keen to pin the death on the Dark Believers—a sinister offshoot of a Russian Orthodox sect—but Edie’s instincts tell her otherwise. Her investigations take her into a world of corrupt politics, religious intolerance, greed, and sex trafficking. But just as she begins to get some answers, Edie finds herself confronted by a painful secret from her past.<br><br></div>
