Author Kathleen Lippa reads from her new book, “Arctic Predator: The Crimes of Edward Horne Against Children in Canada’s North,” during a book launch Tuesday evening in an Ottawa bookstore. Lippa, who worked as a journalist in Iqaluit in the early 2000s, learned about Horne’s crimes and wrote the book because she said Canadians needed to learn more about their “Arctic brothers and sisters.” Horne was a school teacher and principal in several Nunavut communities during the 1970s until the mid-1980s.
