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. "

" First time reading this author. Was decent read but didn't hold my interest like some authors. Will try to read her again. "
— Edie, 2/20/2014 -
" 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. "
— Barbara, 2/15/2014 -
" Wow, what an ending to a great story! "

" The continuing layers of roles that Kate takes on to challenge her already challenged life may or maynot be realistic but it works for me in the fiction world and keeps me wanting to continue reading the series. I really do enjoy these books. "
— Sherri, 2/10/2014 -
" What can I say another great Kate Shugak Mystery. Love them. "
— Audrey, 2/3/2014 -
" 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. "
— Rita, 1/30/2014 -
" I have read this book before but liked it enough to listen to it again. Kate Shugak is such a great character. She stands up for what she believes and the rights of everyone. I would like to have some of her courage. "

" This is a series set in Alaska about an investigator who happens to be a native woman. Lots of colorful characters, Alaska culture and a bit of native politics. Read the series from the beginning and you will be hooked! "

— Maura, 2/8/2012 -
" I love this series of mysteries. "
— Jeanne, 12/14/2011 -
" Too much Kate And her potential romance with Jim Chopin and too little mystery solving. I found other Kate Shugak stories much more satisfying than this one. "

" Just what I've come to expect from this series - in a good way. I especially liked the ending. "
— Andrea, 7/26/2011 -
" This series was recommended by a friend and while I was intrigued by the Alaska location I thought it might be too outdoorsy and full of nature for me. Luckily, this was not the case. I really enjoyed the book, the main character and the supporting players. I'll read some more. "

" You can always depend on a Kate Shugak novel for a good mystery with the flavor of Alaska, but I thought this one was even better than most with well-drawn characters and red herrings galore! "
— Carolyn, 8/12/2010 -
" In the beginning, I really enjoyed the story, but the constant criticizing to political conservatives and Christians ruined it for me. I finally had to put the book down. I will not read anything else by this author. "

" I love Dana Stabenow - I get into her books very quickly and Kate is a great character! "
— Eunira, 8/21/2009 -
" Dana Stabenow is one of the very, very few authors I read that has killed off multiple characters that I actually like without causing me to abandon her series. In fact, she may be the only one. <br/> <br/>Nice twist in this book particularly. "
