Set in Alaska, Edgar Award-winner Dana Stabenow's novels combine a rich portrait of life in the frozen north, with taut suspense and top-notch characters.



In this latest installment in the Kate Shugak series, the possibility of drilling for oil in a wildlife preserve near the home of the dynamic Aleutian P.I. has battle lines drawn. Things heat up when a ranger at the preserve loses his job for political reasons, but when a passionate conservation spokesperson is found poisoned, the war begins in earnest.



In a gripping story both entertaining and tense, not to mention timely, Dana Stabenow brings to life the beauty and danger of living and dying in Alaska.
