Praise for Whisper to the Blood
Grade: A. Some of the greatest mystery writers enrich us with their wonderful sense of place. Stabenow is one of them: Alaska's answer to Tony Hillerman, she brings us the sights and sounds that few visitors will ever know. . . . If you haven't discovered Stabenow yet, start here-then go back to A Cold Day for Murder and enjoy the whole story.

Excellent . . . No one writes more vividly about the hardships and rewards of living in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness and the hardy but frequently flawed characters who choose to call it home. This is a richly rewarding regional series that continues to grow in power as it grows in length.

There are now sixteen Kate Shugak novels in this excellent series set in backwoods Alaska, and rather than losing steam, Stabenow is building it. Whisper to the Blood is the best Shugak so far. . . . Stabenow is terrific at building a story and keeping the suspense tight and the story moving.

One of the best . . . A dynamite combination of atmosphere, action, and character.

Praise for A Deeper Sleep
When I'm casting about for an antidote to the sugary female sleuths . . . Kate Shugak, the Aleut private investigator in Dana Stabenow's Alaskan mysteries, invariably comes to mind.
-- The New York Times

Stabenow once again presents us with a cleverly conceived and crisply written thriller that provides a provocative glimpse of life as it is lived and justice as it is served on America's last frontier.

Author Bio
Dana Stabenow's sixteenth Kate Shugak novel, WHISPER TO THE BLOOD, was the first Kate book to hit the New York Times bestseller list. Her ongoing success proves that this is one of a very few long-running crime series that is always exceedingly well written and that continues to attract new readers.
