Canadian Book Review ~ Arctic Predator by Kathleen Lippa



Happy Publication to Arctic Predator: The Crimes of Edward Horne Against Children in Canada's North by journalist Kathleen Lippa, published by Dundurn Press.  

After years of research, Kathleen has written about the shocking crimes of trusted teacher, Ed Horne, who wrought lasting damage on Inuit communities in Canada’s Arctic.

“Arctic Predator achieves profound insight into one of the most disturbing and dismaying series of events in Canadian Arctic history. This is a work of great scholarship and extraordinary depth.  It sets out and seeks to understand how terrible crimes were committed by one evil man against individual children, the communities where they lived, and how the damage has spread deep and wide. Kathleen Lippa has written a book that is of huge importance and, at the same time, as accessible as it is revelatory. It is compelling and anguished and humane. A book of real importance.”

—Hugh Brody, author of Landscapes of Silence: From Childhood to the Arctic

In this book, Kathleen examines the devastating impact the crimes of Edward Horne had on individuals, families, and entire communities. Her compelling work lifts the veil of silence surrounding the Horne story once and for all.

Arctic Predator is available wherever books are bought or borrowed.
