Synopsis
Anchorage private detective Kate Shugak and Alaska state trooper Jim Chopin race against time to bring to justice Louis Deem, a man arrested for and acquitted of the murder of his wife, especially after the shooting of a woman and her son in an apparent robbery. By the author of A Taint in the Blood. 100,000 first printing.
Synopsis
Returning to her popular series featuring Alaskan P.I. Kate Shugak, New York Times bestselling author Stabenow pens a tightly drawn, fast-paced, ultimately shocking tale about a man who gets away with murder or does he?
Synopsis
In
A Deeper Sleep, her first novel since
Blindfold Game, the stand-alone political thriller that made Dana Stabenow a
New York Times bestseller, Stabenow returns to the popular and award-winning Kate Shugak series.
Kate, a private investigator, has been working on a case for the Anchorage District Attorney involving the murder of a young woman by her husband, a man named Louis Deem. Deem has been the subject of investigations before, and hes never been convicted of a crime. But Kate and her on-again, off-again lover, state trooper Jim Chopin, who arrested Deem, are convinced that this time its different, and he'll finally be punished for his actions.
When the jury returns a verdict of not guilty, Kate and Jim are devastated, and like the rest of the citizens of Niniltna, Alaska, certain that a man has gotten away with murder. They can't help but think that it's only a matter of time before he's in the frame for another killing. Sure enough, a few weeks later a shooting leaves two dead in an apparent robbery. But this time Kate and Jim have a witness, and theyre not going to let Louis Deem get away again. Or will he?
Dana Stabenow, Edgar Awardwinning author and New York Times bestselling thriller writer, delivers a gripping page-turner about one town's search for justice at any cost.
