Everything a detective novel should be--gripping, clever, and filled with deep characters . Ninety-nine shovels of dirt on the grave, ninety-nine shovels of dirt… Brilliant but troubled Detective Kacy Lang and her partner, Dave Capello, aren’t the perfect detectives, but they are the perfect team. When the body of Kacy’s twin brother washes up from the icy depths of the Chicago River she’s positive she knows who did it. The same man who buried her alive two years earlier. A killer more ghost than man as no one had ever seen his face and lived to tell about it. Kyle had been a druggie and small time thug. He’d taken something, and someone out there was desperate to get it back. Bodies were piling up and her adoptive parents were at the top of Kacy’s list of suspects. The killer wasn’t finished, and the only thing she knew for sure… he was coming for her. A multilayered, fast-paced archaeological dig of a mystery.

"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
