“Dana Stabenow’s best book”—a magnificent crime novel about life in America’s last wilderness, the heart-wrenching grief that goes with love, and murder ( The Boston Globe ). Kate Shugak, a former investigator for the Anchorage D.A. and now a P.I. for hire, is missing after a winter spent in mourning. Alaska State Trooper Jim Chopin, Kate’s best friend, needs her to help him work a new case. He discovers her hiding out in Bering, a small fishing village on Alaska’s western coast, living and working under an assumed name—working hard, as eighteen-hour workdays seem to be her only justification for getting up in the morning. But before they can even discuss Kate’s last several months, or what Jim is doing looking for her in Bering, they’re up to their eyes in Jim’s case, which is suddenly more complicated—and more dangerous—than they suspect. “Stabenow’s stories . . . are lifted out of the ordinary by her splendid evocation of the Alaskan frontier, beautiful but dangerous, and its idiosyncratic and intriguing inhabitants.” — The San Diego Union-Tribune “Every time I think that Dana Stabenow has gotten as good as she can get, she comes up with something better.” — The Washington Times
