Thirty minutes of daylight will herald the end of the polar night in Kautokeino, a small village in northern Norway, home to the indigenous Sami people.\n\nBut in the last hours of darkness, a precious artifact is stolen: an ancient Sami drum. The most important piece in the museum's collection, it was due to go on tour with a UN exhibition in a few short weeks.\n\nHours later, a man is murdered.

Klemet Nango, an experienced Sami officer, and Nina Nansen, his much younger partner from the south of Norway, must find the perpetrators before it's too late...\n\nTHIS EDITION INCLUDES A READING GROUP GUIDE\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 145554759X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.145554759X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Truc, Olivier\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
