By Dana Stabenow

Book Overview

"New York Times" bestselling author Dana Stabenow's latest finds Kate Shugak entangled in a bitter tribal rivalry and murderOne hundred years of bad blood between the Alaskan 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.

Customer Reviews

Very interesting Alaskan setting.

The writer writes a great story for adults-----story flows, abundant excitement, very different plot,-----BUT then, Kate Shugak, the "star of the show", is shot in the chest by a rifle at the end of the story-----AND LEFT THERE!!!!! (If she's dead, why write the story in the first place---?). AGH! Writer deserves a swift kick in the pants, as she listens to me bellow!!!! Oops. Guess that was a "spoiler"------- If Kate DIDN'T die, and Stabenow writes another story about Kate, I WOULD like to read it, but, how to find it????? E. M. Anderson
