A Cold Day for Murder

Meet Kate Shugak, the no-nonsense Alaska Native private investigator, in this gripping introduction to Dana Stabenow‘s award-winning, bestselling mystery series . When even the FBI can‘t track a man down, it‘s time to send in Kate Shugak. Meet Kate Shugak. She‘s five foot one, carries an angry scar that runs across her throat from ear to ear, and owns a half-wolf, half-husky dog named Mutt. Resourceful, strong-willed, and defiant, Aleut private investigator Kate is tougher than your average heroine - and she needs to be to survive the worst the Alaskan wilds can throw at her. Kate‘s latest case has stumped politicians and federal investigators alike. Somewhere in twenty million acres of forest and glaciers, a ranger has disappeared. Mark Miller was last heard from six weeks ago. The National Park Service assume he froze to death in a snowstorm: a typical fate of those lost in this vast and desolate terrain. But as a favour to Miller‘s congressman father, the FBI sent in an investigator. He was last heard from sixteen days ago. Now it‘s time to send in a professional: Alaska Native Kate Shugak: Last heard from yesterday...
