Very excellent dog/mystery book!!!!!

Enjoyable

I just discovered Sue Henry and thoroughly enjoy her books. I read number 4 first and then went and bought the first three. They seem to me to reflect Alaska in a true fashion as related to me by my relatives from there. I recommend this series to all who enjoy a good mystery.

A winner; this work is truly frightening

Alaska is considered by many people to be the last frontier on the North American continent. The land appears to be pristine and clean, but like the rest of the United States, evil walks the land. Dog musher and trainer Jessie Arnold is internationally renowned for her canine breeding program and her participation in races like the Iditarard. Although she can not fathom who would hate her enough to hurt her, she has recently been under siege from an unknown antagonist. Her assailant's campaign of terror is frightening Jessie. The culprit has placed traps in her kennels, leading to severe injuries to her dogs. Jessie herself barely escapes from the teeth of one of the traps. She receives threatening calls and letters. Her brake line has been cut, leading to Jessie and her friends being hospitalized from the subsequent car crash. Jessie's significant other, state trooper Alex Jensen, devotes his full attention to capturing the maniac stalking his beloved before the cat and mouse game turns fatal. Sue Henry brings out the feral isolation of the sparsely populated part of Alaska that provides the reader insight into a region where the law exists only as far as an individual can personally enforce it. DEADFALL imbues the audience with the primal fear that a person feels when a stalker makes them his prey. The imaginative story line with its solid mystery, in which the assailant's motives are as important as uncovering his identity, compels readers to want more novels from this talented author.Harriet Klausner
