An Unforgiving Place

By Claire Kells

Book Overview

In a remote corner of Alaska, Investigative Services Bureau agent Felicity Harland squares off against a mysterious cult leader with potentially deadly motives in this thrilling outdoor adventure for fans of Scott Graham and Nevada Barr.

While enjoying a rare weekend off from her duties as an agent with the Investigative Services Branch, Felicity Harland learns that a young couple has turned up dead in Gates of the Arctic National Park. Harland recruits her partner, ex-Navy SEAL Ferdinand "Hux" Huxley, to join her in the investigation.
After processing the peculiar scene where the couple perished, Harland and Hux decide that this was no tragic accident. They soon hear about a man living off the land, recruiting couples to his "fertility cult" in the Arctic. Could this survivalist have played a role in the couple's death? Determined to get to the truth before someone else meets a similar fate, Harland and Hux venture deep into the backcountry to find the cult's campsite. But what they find there tests their relationship in ways they never imagined--and thrusts them into a dangerous and deadly game.

Very Good

After I read the first in this series, The Vanishing Edge, I just knew I had to read An Unforgiving Place as well and I was not disappointed. I have never been to the Gates of the Arctic National Park, but after reading Claire Kells' description of it, I felt like I have. A "chilling" plot, vivid landscape descriptions, interesting characters with just enough background to make them believable and a good author made this another read that was hard to put down. This author does tend to go for rather abrupt endings however. At this time there is only one more in this series, and I have ordered it. I hope she continues to write more, because I am really enjoying them.
