Today I finished "A Gift Before Dying" by Malcolm Kempt. This is a new book and the first novel by this author. This is a very dark crime story that takes place in the Arctic in December when it is literally always dark. There is a lot about the Inuit people of the area and the hardships people who live there must endure. The main character is a police officer who has been exiled from "down South" (Alberta). He is not a very likable person who is filled with guilt from his past and drinks excessively. There is some supernatural aspects and violence. I can't say I really liked this book much, but I finished it.
