With her award-winning debut novel, Muder On Iditarod
Trail, Sue Henry established herself as one of the most
celebrated new mystery writers. In Termination Dust,
her much-anticipated second Alex Jensen mystery, Sue Henry
again seizes the rich history of Alaska and Canada's
forgotten frontiers and delivers a fast-paced mystery with
one of the most adventurous and charming detectives around.
The virgin landscape along the Yukon River has hardly
changed since the gold rush began in 1897. Frostbiting winds
slice the rugged terrain, and, like a shroud, the first
dusting of snow covers the low hills. Braving thick snow on
the Top of the World Highway—where one slip could mean a
fall down thousands a cold-blooded killer. His only witness
is Jim Hampton, a rugged canoeist whose vacation has
abruptly ended. And Jensen's only clue is an 1898
journal—detailing an eerily similar murder—that Hampton
discovered on the killer's path.
Set against nature's most beautiful, yet cruelest, elements,
Termination Dust weaves together legend and reality
in a tremendous display of imaginative talent and
storytelling prowess.
