The residents of Alaskas largest national park are still stunned by the death of one of its lifelong residents: Eighty-seven-year-old Old Sam Dementieff. Dubbed the “father” of all of the Park rats—although he had no children of his own—Sam was especially close to his niece, P. I. Kate Shugak.

Meanwhile, an unknown enemy is on her trail…and will stop at nothing to make sure that the truth about Sams father stays buried.
