It Is In the Blood

Kate Shugak has long avoided the tribal politics that is her grandmother's life blood, but Ekaterina induces her to Anchorage for the Alaska Federation of Natives convention. Foxy Ekaterina leaves Kate with no choice but take the podium and speak to her people. At a loss as to what to say, Kate tells the story of her recent killing of a moose and the bounty of the land. The delegates understand within their hearts the pull of a land has for each one of them. Mutt's entrapment of the FBI agent who is doing some B & R, as Kate and Jack Morgan are engaged in the same effort is one of the funniest scenes Ms. Stabenow has written for this outstanding series. Lies, greed, deceit are at the heart of the control of the convention which will change Kate's life. Nash Black, author whose books are also available in Kindle editions.

With her eloquent writing style, Dana Stabenow gives you a connectedness with the main character (Kate Shugak) that many authors attempt but fall short. A well thought out story with an amazing ending.

Kate goes to town, stays in trouble!

Kate Shugak is a remarkable and likeable woman. From the beginning, when she shoots a moose and chows down with Emaa, her grandmother, to the end, she is the consummate master of her fate. Her self-control and power radiate to everyone around her. Kate follows a path that surprised and refreshed me as she manages to exact revenge on her boyfriend's ex-wife while resolving some major power struggles within her tribe. The homestead won't be the same after Kate gets back from Anchorage. She exhibits qualities that one seldom sees in a female character and in this story, she needs every bit of her instinct & abilities. Kept me guessing right to the end. A satisfying visit to Alaska and very worthwhile

A brilliant tale of human weakness...

Kate Shugak knew when she left Anchorage that life in the city was a life of corruption and greed, a life where man is torn ethical and ethnic foundation.s Returning to the city under protest, Kate finds the same decay she had left behind here--in the lust for money, and the betrayal of love and trust. But Kate has matured: she is able to lead her people, and to face the evidence of betrayal and decay. She even puts on high heels and a dress! And the scenes where she takes revenge on her boyfriends former wife are delightful
