by Dana Stabenow (Author)
In the newest entry in Dana Stabenow's New York Times bestselling Kate Shugak series, Kate and the rest of the Park rats are stunned by the death of Old Sam, Kate's eighty-seven-year-old uncle and foster father. In his will, he leaves almost everything to Kate, including a homestead deep in gold mining country that no one knew he had and a letter that reads simply, 'Find my father.' Easier said than done, since Sam's father is something of a mystery: an outsider who disappeared shortly after learning about Sam's existence, he took with him a priceless tribal artifact, a Russian icon. During the first three days of Kate's search, she gets shot at, whacked in the head, and run off the road in deep snow and left for dead. Interspersed with flashbacks from Sam's fascinating life, including scenes from major events in Alaskan history, Kate does her best to fulfil Sam's last wish - as various people follow her every move, in search of the icon, Old Sam's gold, or possibly some other secret remnant of his long, mysterious life.

Praise for Dana Stabenow
Stabenow is blessed with a rich prose style and a fine eye for detail... It's an outstanding series and one that has, in fact, won awards and begun to turn up on bestseller lists here in the Lower 48. If you've never visited Alaska, it's also an intriguing introduction to that big, brawling, rather bewildering state.
-- The Washington Post on A Night Too Dark
Kate Shugak, the Aleut private eye, demonstrates why she is considered one of the best among female sleuths in A Night Too Dark .
-- San Diego Union-Tribune on A Night Too Dark
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.
-- Rocky Mountain News on Whisper to the Blood
One of the best... A dynamite combination of atmosphere, action, and character.
--- Booklist (starred review) on Whisper to the Blood
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.
