Description

As Alaska’s spring thaw—known locally as “breakup”—releases the land from winter, a body is uncovered near Kate Shugak’s home. When a deadly bear attack casts doubt on the circumstances, Kate is drawn into an investigation that forces her to probe the secrets, histories, and loyalties of her remote community. Balancing grief, complicated relationships, and the demands of caring for a troubled teenager, she confronts a case shaped by Alaska’s harsh beauty and turbulent past. Tense, atmospheric, and richly grounded in the culture of the Alaskan bush, this mystery showcases a determined investigator and a landscape that is every bit as formidable as the crime.
