Christoffer Petersen
Christoffer Petersen grew up on the stories of Jack London and devouring any book having to do with the Arctic and dog sledging.

In the year 2006, he encouraged his Danish wife to move to Greenland, and they spent the next seven years learning all about one of the most exciting countries, cultures, and peoples in the entire world.

While in Greenland, he began writing crime stories and thrillers set in the Arctic and in Greenland.

Christoffer graduated from Falmouth University with a Master of Arts in Professional Writing (Distinction) in the year 2015, not too long after he moved back to Denmark.

Christoffer writes the “Constable David Maratse” series, the “Detective Freja Hansen” series, the “Arctic Shorts” series, the “Konstabel Fenn Brongard” series, the “Jon Ostergard” series, and the “Petra Piitalaat Jensen” series. His work is from the crime, mystery, and thriller genres.

“Seven Graves One Winter” is the first novel in the “Constable David Maratse” series and was released in the year 2018. In the isolated Arctic community of Inussuk, seven graves are dug right at the end of summer, before the ground begins to freeze. As winter comes, the question is, are they going to be enough?

Constable David Maratse is invalided off of the force, and he moves to an isolated Arctic island to live of a subsistence fisherman. His long line hooks in the body of a politician’s daughter, he finds himself being the lead investigator as well as the prime suspect in Greenland’s most sensational murder case.

Fans enjoyed this novel for its superb storyline, quick pace, and its twists and turns which keep you guessing. It is an informative and interesting read, and some enjoyed the trip this took them on to Greenland. The setting is well used, making this a very cold and dark read. David is a likable character that some quickly became attached to, and Petersen’s storytelling ability is top notch.

“Blood Floe” is the second novel in the “Constable David Maratse” series and was released in the year 2018. David Maratse has been settling into early retirement in the isolated Arctic settlement of Inussuk, while an expedition yacht is found at the edge of the sea ice. Patches of blood have frozen right to the decks. Three members of the crew in the cabin are unconscious yet alive, while the rest are either dead or have gone missing.

The yacht’s owner, who is frustrated by the slow speed of the investigation, hires Maratse to find the missing crew members. He also is to recover a lost journal that was believed to be written by Alfred Wegener, the late German polar researcher.

His investigation takes him from the wind-ravaged frozen peaks of Greenland and to the Berlin. While he gets ever closer to finding the journal, Maratse realizes there is a lot more at stake here than just figuring out the killer’s identity. His life as well as those he loves and cares about, is pulled into a conspiracy that is stretched tight around the globe.

There is plenty of action in this one, and it has a quick paced. Petersen expertly paints a vivid word picture about life in Greenland and the weather conditions the people live in. It gives the story an added ambiance and provides some cultural vibe of the region. All of the characters are fascinating and believable and the setting is very interesting, with the description of locations and events razor sharp.

“We Shall Be Monsters” is the third novel in the “Constable David Maratse” series and was released in the year 2018. One extreme environment calls for rather extreme methods if retired Police Constable David Maratse is to catch this sadistic killer.

The body of a missing teen is found, Police Sergeant Petra Jensen’s bloody and stiff clothes are found next to a nearby hole in the sea ice. The local cops assume she is dead. The suicide note, which was written in her hand, confirms this. The investigation is closed and her clothes are buried in a tiny casket one of the seven pre-dug graves.

For David Maratse, this funeral is only a formality, something that is to be endured, if only to convince the politicians, the press, and the cops, that Petra (one of Greenland’s finest officers) is now dead.

While the hunt for the teen’s killer ramps up, Maratse harnesses up his dog team, and slips away in the winter night to begin his hunt for Petra. He does so without the prying eyes of the press on him and far away from the law’s restraints.

Fans of these books enjoy seeing just how each one of the characters has developed over these three books. Readers feel transported into the story and Petersen makes you feel like you are in Inussuk, with David. Christoffer takes a sharp look at the darker side of humanity, and the equally swift, desperate, and possibly violent response, both of which combine to help keep the pages turning the entire way through.

“Inside the Bear’s Cage” is the fourth novel in the “Constable David Maratse” series and was released in the year 2018. All of the Greenlandic kids know that bears do not belong in a cage.

David Maratse gets sentenced to two years imprisonment for committing a serious crime, under some extenuating circumstances.

Maratse, who is imprisoned in Denmark, struggles to adapt so far from the land, the woman, and the life he loves. However when his partner’s mental health deteriorates, David agrees to assist a Danish Detective that is investigating prison corruption to get a reduced sentence.

To help build the Detective’s case, David enters into the shadowy world of prison politics and hierarchy. However the shadows are filled with traps, and some ruthless players that will stop at nothing in order to get what they want. Just like David.

The plot here is interesting with just enough turns and twists to keep it all fresh. Readers find themselves enjoying each and every one of these books, and then wanting to read more about David.
