Seven Graves One Winter av Christoffer Petersen
What Sara said. A lot to like here.
Well written character driven story set in Greenland, superb characterisation throughout engaging from first to last page. A clever gentle mystery descriptive intelligent with a real feel for time and place, at times I could swear I could feel the cold.
Constable Petra Jensen is a star brave fearless funny selfless and smart, I look forward to following her career.
Completely recommended.

Resistance Radio
Review of the Aarluuk Press Kindle eBook edition (October 25, 2021)
[2.5 rating bumped to 3]
I recently read Christoffer Petersen's Arctic State (2019), which was the first of his Guerilla Greenland series. Guerilla Greenland is an alternative timeline/speculative fiction series which features one of Petersen's regular protagonists, Constable David Maratse, from the Greenland Crime series. The idea for the alternative timeline series came from ex-US President Trump's proposal to buy Greenland. The book series speculates that the purchase has gone through and a resistance movement begins in opposition to the U.S. occupation.

Map of Greenland with locations for the Greenland Crime series which features Constable David Maratse. The same map would work for the alternative timeline series of Guerilla Greenland. Map image sourced from the author's website.
I've realized that Petersen writes in serialized format, so that he has very many short works (over 100 listed on GR) many of which are only part of a longer story. Radio Free Will is part of that pattern. Maratse assigns Kamiila to investigate a trawler off the coast of Greenland which is apparently the base for a pirate podcast. The resistance is being invited to speak on the podcast in order to get their message out. But is the entire scenario a setup by the American occupation forces? Kamiila must investigate to ensure that it is not a trap. As with Arctic State, this short story is more of a setup for the rest of this offshoot subseries of the larger Guerilla Greenland universe.
As best as I can determine, Danish author Christoffer Petersen writes in English and there is no indication that these books are translated from Danish or Greenlandic. Several Greenlandic words and phrases appear in the text and a glossary is provided for those.… (mer)
Review of the Aarluuk Press Kindle eBook edition (October 25, 2021)
But, without further explanation, let me introduce the main character in this story: Kamiila Sorsuttartoq. Kamiila is an idea personified, albeit in a fictional context. She is introduced in Arctic Rebel, book two in the Guerilla Greenland series. Maratse is here too, but Kamiila is the driving force of the guerrilla movement in these stories, and therefore it makes sense that her Greenlandic surname means warrior in the English language. - from the author's introduction.

Greenland Resist!
Review of the Aarluuk Press Kindle eBook edition (November 12, 2019) released almost simultaneously with the Aarluuk Press paperback (November 9, 2019)
[3.5 rating bumped to 4]
I've had a revitalized interest in ScandiNoir and other translations from Scandinavian languages lately and I joined the very informative GR group English Translations of Scandinavian Nordic Mysteries Thrillers as a result. The group identifies a rather shockingly high number of translations every month for potential reading e.g. January 2023's list was 15 books.
A few recent releases by independent author Christoffer Petersen caught my eye and I went back to search for Arctic State (2019), the first of his Guerilla Greenland series. Guerilla Greenland is an alternative timeline/speculative fiction series which features one of Petersen's regular protagonists, Constable David Maratse, from the Greenland Crime series.
As explained in the novella's Afterword, the idea for the alternative timeline series arose from then U.S. President Trump's speculation about a future purchase of Greenland which met with various reactions of disapproval and opposition from Greenland and Denmark. Petersen's series assumes an actual purchase has gone through with the result that a network of native Greenlanders begin to form a resistance movement to the occupying U.S. Forces and Administration.

The setup was intriguing as it combines issues of indigenous peoples land claims, dystopic futures, imperialistic colonialism, human rights activism, possible Arctic resource exploitation a.o. Arctic State itself is more of a prequel novella, in that it primarily consists of flashbacks by Constable Maratse as he is being interviewed by U.S. authorities for possible acceptance in the new regime's police forces. In the flashbacks we learn that Maratse has likely been politicized for the Greenland independence movement when he was involved in the apprehension of a senior Greenlandic activist Inniki Rasmussen (she also features in one of Petersen's regular timeline books Narkotika. The book thus acts as a setup for the future possible guerilla actions of the independence movement, but none of that actually happens yet. So this is more of a tentative rating based on this prequel story.

She’d seen it before. Europeans – mostly Danes – struggling to understand why the Greenlanders didn’t do what they expected them to do? Failing to understand that autonomous was another word for separate, self-governing, and that it wasn’t just the country that was autonomous, but its people too. A different culture, a different way of life, a different way of living.
