The spectacular Kate Shugak crime series reaches new levels of excellence in this New York Times bestseller from Dana Stabenow“EXCELLENT…No one writes more vividly about the Alaskan wilderness.”—Publishers Weekly (Starred review)Inside Alaska’s biggest national park, around the town of Niniltna, a gold mining company has started buying up land. The residents of the Park are uneasy. “But gold is up to nine hundred dollars an ounce” is the refrain of Talia Macleod, the popular Alaskan skiing champ hired by the company to improve relations with the locals, and pave the way for the mine’s expansion…“A splendid series.”—USA TodayThen, just as Talia is ready to present her case at town meetings and village breakfasts, there are two brutal murders, including that of a long-standing mine opponent. The investigation falls to Trooper Jim Chopin and, as usual, he could use some help from newly elected Niniltna Native Association chairman and part-time P.I. Kate Shugak. But Kate already has her hands full with a series of attacks on snowmobilers up the Kanuyaq River and the homicide of Park villain Louis Deem. With both cases on the verge of going cold, can Kate take the heat?“A dynamite combination of atmosphere, action, and character.”—Booklist (Starred Review)
