Love, death, scandal, and the struggle for survival against a harsh Alaskan landscape—
its all in a days work for P.I. Kate Shugak in her latest tale of adventure from New York Times bestselling author
Dana Stabenow
In Alaska, somebody disappears every day. Hunters who head into the wilderness… Fishermen who brave the great rivers…Tourists who attempt to do both. In Aleut detective Kate Shugaks Park, people have been falling off the grid quite a bit lately. And as she and state trooper Jim Chopin are about to realize, its got something to do with the recent discovery of the worlds second-largest gold mine in their very own backyard.
“Kate Shugak demonstrates why she is…one of the best female sleuths in A Night Too Dark.”—San Diego Union-Tribune
A hostile environmental activist organization has embraced Alaskas Suulutaq Mine as its reason for being, attracting more attention than many of the locals can tolerate. So its almost a relief when Kate finally finds a body—this, more than politics, she can handle. Until the identity of the body vanishes, too… Now its up to Kate and Jim to dig deeper into the mining controversy and find the truth about whats going on in her homeland. Even if that means facing down an enemy who will kill to keep certain secrets buried…
“A splendid series.”—USA Today
