Sleeping Lady: An Alex Jensen Mystery (Alex Jensen Alaska Mysteries)

Sleeping Lady: An Alex Jensen Mystery (Alex Jensen Alaska Mysteries) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Alaska State Trooper Alex Jensen is faced with solving the mystery of what became of pilot Norm Lewis, whose plane disappeared six months ago in the vast white wilderness. Even ore puzzling is the discovery of the broken hulk of his Cessna, half submerged in the icy waters of the Spring thaw--with the frozen body of an unidentified woman strapped in the passenger seat. Norm is nowhere to be found, and his wife, Rochelle, a pilot herself, has flown in, demanding to be included in the search.

Jensen and Rochelle begin their probe, an emotional trek through the forbidding Alaskan wilderness--a trail that turns even more ominous as they follow the fateful path of a man who has vanished without a trace, leaving behind a bundle of troublesome secrets, unanswered questions. . .and some dangerous connections in the business of murder.

Review:

"Twice as vivid as Michener's natural Alaska, at about a thousandth the length." (-- Washington Post Book World)

Review:

"Textured characterization, an attentive depiction of the wilderness . . .Will engage most armchair travelers in the lower 48" (-- Publishers Weekly)

Synopsis:

Sue Henry's first book, Murder on the Iditarod Trail started a career off with a bang. In Sleeping Lady, Alaska State Trooper Alex Jensen is once again faced with a confounding puzzle set in the splendor of the Alaskan countryside. The melting snow reveals a small aircraft. Strapped in the passenger's seat is an unidentified corpse.
