A Cold Day for Murder.
A young National Park Ranger—who just happens to be a congressman’s son—goes missing, as does the investigator sent to find him. Local Bush expertise is called for, and while Kate Shugak thought she'd retired from investigating, it’s her home territory, the money's good, and it’s personal.

. Two crewmembers from the crab boat
Avilda
are missing, presumed dead. It’s a dangerous profession, but there’s more than a whiff of malice in the air. Enough that the DA wants Kate to be onboard, at sea, undercover.
