Publisher Description

In the latest thriller in the Edgar Award–winning Kate Shugak series, the intrepid Alaskan detective investigates the murder of a man whom nobody even knew was missing. Although everyone knew town handyman Len Dreyer, he was also a mystery. When Dreyer’s body turns up, frozen for months in the path of a receding glacier with a shotgun hole in his chest, State Trooper Jim Chopin asks Kate to help him investigate Dreyer’s background in hopes of finding a motive for his murder. She takes the case in order to provide for the teenaged boy now in her care, a constant reminder of his father, her dead lover. Little does she imagine that in trying to provide for him she may be putting him in the path of danger.

"I really like Kate Shugak stories and this one did not disappoint. I had read the book that was written after this one, so this one actually answered a few questions that I had when reading the other book. I enjoyed the relationships she has with everyone in the community. "

    " Number 13 in a series of Alaskan mysteries starring Kate Shugak. I have read others in the series and enjoy the depiction of the far north, the wilderness, people, and strong themes. The books may be better read in order, though each stands alone well. "

    " I especially liked the advice that Kate gave to Johnny. "A lot of people aren't lucky enough to find that one thing they are good at. But if you do, I think you should do it. Practice it. Make a living at it, if you can. Make a difference, if you can. "
