Inside Alaska’s biggest national park, around the town of
Niniltna, a gold mining company has started buying up land.
The residents of the Park are uneasy. “But gold is up to
nine hundred dollars an ounce” is the refrain of Talia
Macleod, the popular Alaskan skiing champ hired by the
company to improve relations with the locals, and pave the
way for the mine’s expansion…
Then, just as Talia is
ready to present her case at town meetings and village
breakfasts, there are two brutal murders, including that of
a long-standing mine opponent. The investigation falls to
Trooper Jim Chopin and, as usual, he could use some help
from newly elected Niniltna Native Association chairman and
part-time P.I. Kate Shugak. But Kate already has her hands
full with a series of attacks on snowmobilers up the Kanuyaq
River and the homicide of Park villain Louis Deem. With both
cases on the verge of going cold, can Kate take the heat?
