Detective Kate Shugak is an ex-investigator for the Anchorage DA. Her retirement came after getting her throat cut while trying to apprehend a child abuser. Now she lives on a homestead just inside the park, reads, listens to music, makes bread and keeps company with her dog, Mutt. Kate has pretty much isolated herself from most of the world living on this property she inherited from her father, especially her old boss, Jack Morgan, who may have been a little closer than just that.
But Jack and the FBI have now asked her to come out of retirement and find the congressman's son who has disappeared out in the park, and more importantly, the investigator sent to find him has also disappeared. This investigator was trained by Kate. The Alaskan wilderness, the eccentrics, pipe-line workers and Kate's relatives, keep this story interesting as she hunts for the answers in this very different murder mystery.
I enjoyed this book very much. Kate Shugak is one of a kind and I tend to identify with her and the additional Alaskan characters. Loved her family! I can not wait to read the next book in the series.
