The Alaskan villages of Kushtaka and Kuskulana sit across
the river from each other, but Kuskulana’s always thrived
while Kushtaka is slowly dying out. One hundred years of bad
blood between the communities threaten to come to a boil
when the body of a young Kushtaka ne’er-do-well is found
dead—and questions of love, loyalty, and revenge rise to the
surface. Could this one, unexplained death ignite an all-out
war? When a second murder that looks suspiciously like
payback occurs, the escalating enmity can no longer be
ignored. Now it’s up to private investigator Kate Shugak,
along with Sergeant Jim Chopin, to find the truth about what
happened…while a killer remains at large. And is on their
trail…
