Dead in the Water

The Edgar Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling series by Dana Stabenow set in Alaska. Aleut private investigator Kate Shugak investigates a strange disappearance at sea. The Bering Sea: two million square miles of dark capricious ocean and tempestuous squalls. Last March, two men disappeared whilst loading supplies on a remote island there. Six months later, their skipper, Harry Gault, is still aboard the Avilda, and the families of the missing men are making noises about corruption. Gault should have been fired over the deaths, but with the crew backing his version of events, what the authorities need is an investigator who can survive the tortuous conditions on an Alaskan fishing trawler. Someone like Kate Shugak...
