Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Dana Stabenow's latest, Bad Blood, finds Kate Shugak entangled in a bitter tribal rivalry and murder In Alaska, one hundred years of bad blood between the villages of Kushtaka and Kuskulana come to a boil when the body of a young Kushtaka ne'er-do-well is found wedged in a fish wheel. Sergeant Jim Chopin's prime suspect is a Kuskulana man who is already in trouble in both villages for falling in love across the river. But when the suspect disappears, members of both tribes refuse to speak to Jim. When a second murder that looks suspiciously like payback occurs, Jim has no choice but to call in Kate Shugak for help. This time, though, her Park relationships may not be enough to sort out the truth hidden in the tales of tragedy and revenge.

"Twentieth book in the series with more to come! What a thriller -- can't wait for the next book! Love this series set in Alaska with Aleut native Kate Shugak as the protagonist with her dog Mutt ("only half wolf!"). The planes, snowmobiles, bears, moose, salmon, crabbers, the North Sea, the Roadhouse, NNA, trucks, snow and more snow, oil, gold, evil antagonists, shootings, stabbings, robberies, gorgeous mountains and rivers, and the Aunties! and don't forget some gorgeous men! I'm going to read some of her other books, so I won't have such "Kate withdrawal.""

" This is an Alaskan version of the Hatfields and the McCoys--two feuding villages, 2 men murdered, another dead, with a Romeo and Juliet story thrown in for good measure. Very enjoyable installation in the Kate Shugak series. "
— Catherine, 2/17/2014 -
" Aggghhh! The next book better come soon, but I hope it doesn't break my heart. I thought we just had to worry about Erland. I can't take the stress. "

" You have got to me kidding me! "

" As always love the Kate series one of my most favorite but..... a bit frustrated with the cliffhanger ending and the prospect of at least 2 years minimum to find out what happens next. "

" It's like Game of thrones Alaska style. "
— Jon, 1/3/2014 -
" I have always enjoyed Dana Stabenow's books. I love the Kate series especially. That being said - I hate cliffhanger books and that is what this one is. :( "
— Loree, 12/18/2013 -
" As always, when I finish a Kate Shugak novel, I can hardly wait for the next one. All I will say is, "What an ending!" "
— Angela, 12/7/2013 -
" I was disappointed in this book after reading all Stabenow's previous books. It had too much of the characters past history in the book. It seemed like it had a lot more descriptions of the country than action of the story. It also had a puzzling ending. "
— Patsy, 11/28/2013 -
" Very interesting ending. "
— Drew, 11/5/2013 -
" A good read but the ending left me with some concerns and I'm hoping it is not so. "
— Dru, 10/29/2013 -
" As usual, Dana provides a truly spectacular story that pulls you in so that when you finish the book, you look around you, surprised to find yourself wherever you sat to read & not in Alaska! "
— Vivian, 10/29/2013 -
" A surprise ending and one I didn't like. "
— Eunice, 9/22/2013 -
" It is so interesting to read about a locale and culture that is different from the everyday. Ms. Stabenow makes her characters live as they try to sort out all the same problems we face here in the lower 48 that come up in Alaska. Small towns are the same all over the world. "
— Richard, 9/4/2013 -
" Another great Kate Shugak novel, but didn't care for the cliffhanger ending. "
— Cara, 8/13/2013 -
" This is a great series. "
— Mary, 8/7/2013 -
" I can't believe it ended like that! How long before the next book? "
— Lee, 7/23/2013 -
" As usual(24 novels worth), steeped with Alaskan natives' realities... good pacing, ever hot relationship and beautiful fearsome Mutt. "
— Blair, 7/16/2013 -
" Dana Stabenow's wonderful Alaskan characters and her deep knowledge of the huge wilderness area called "The Park" in the southern portion of the vast state are, as usual, supported by earthy dialog and superb plotting. One of my favorites. "
— Terry, 3/24/2013 -
" Even this book happens far along in the series I didn't feel lost. It was a good read and I loved the look into the culture. I'll be reading more of these, catching up, but the end of this one is a real cliff hanger so can't wait till the next one comes out! "
— Sharon, 2/11/2013 -
" Great story telling. The ending will leave you thirsty for the next book to see what happens next. "
