    About this ebook

    KATE SHUGAK is a native Aleut working as a private investigator in Alaska. She's 5 foot 1 inch tall, carries a scar that runs from ear to ear across her throat and owns half-wolf, half-husky dog named Mutt. Resourceful, strong-willed, defiant, Kate is tougher than your average heroine – and she needs to be to survive the worst the Alaskan wilds can throw at her.

    A NIGHT TOO DARK. In Alaska, somebody disappears every day. Hunters who head into the wilderness... Fishermen who brave the great rivers...Tourists who attempt to do both. But lately too many people have disappeared. And Kate is about to discover it's got something to do with the recent discovery of the world's second-largest gold mine in her very own backyard.

      A nice entry in the series. You can feel it setting up the next books in the series, but I don't mind that. You will need the background then. I will miss Old Sam. Here's hoping Annie steps up to the plate.
    • 4/5
      Gold mining threatens Niniltna and the rest of the Park and life may never be the same. Murder and mayhem follow in this fast paced, if somewhat predictable, thriller. Stabenow again successfully brings Alaska alive for those of us far from its vast expanses. Well worth the read
    • 4/5
      In Alaska, somebody disappears every day. Hunters who head into the wilderness. . .fishermen who brave the great rivers. . .tourists who attempt to do both. In Aleut detective Kate Shugak's park, people have been falling off the grid quite a bit lately. And as she and state trooper Jim Chopin are about to realize, it's got something to do with the recent discovery of the world's second-largest gold mine in their very own backyard. A hostile environmental activist organization has embraced Alaska's Suulutaq Mine as its reason for being, attracting more attention than many of the locals can tolerate.
    • 4/5
      A page turner, with a great plot, a wonderful protagonist in Kate Shugak, a private investigator who works along side the tribal and government law enforcement authorities in the Alaskan wilderness. This is evidently the 17th in the series, but I didn't feel I need much back fill to enjoy the story. The plot revolves around a greedy mining company wanting to dig gold from a pristine and ecologically endangered mine. I thought the author did an excellent job balancing what could have become a political diatribe and instead offered a fair explanation of the issues. These were certainly debated enough to cause murder and mayhem, missing and mis-identified bodies, and offer Kate the chance to once again help put together the clues she and others piece together from the wilderness. There's just enough question mark left at the end (no spoilers here!) to make readers look forward to the next in the series.
    • 4/5
      Another solid entry in this long-running series. Changes--some good, some bad--are coming to Niniltna and the rest of the Park as a neighboring gold mine begins operations. As always, the real pleasures are the people and the setting.
    • 3/5
      This is my first book by this author. I realize that it is the 17th in the series but I don't think it mattered. I don't feel that I was lost without reading the others. Sure there were a couple parts where I didn't know what the author was talking about but then she explained what had happened in a past book so I understood it. Saying that I truly loved this book so much I'm thinking of going back to the beginning to see how great they were and find ever juicy bit I missed : )
    • 5/5
      Writing that's both perfectly burnished yet smoothly casual, Stabenow has such a great voice--the reader seems to be seated on Kate Shugak's shoulder listening to her inner thoughts. And man oh man, I feel that I know precisely how it feels to be charged by a large, angry bear. Wow!
    • 4/5
      A page turner, with a great plot, a wonderful protagonist in Kate Shugak, a private investigator who works and sleeps along side law enforcement authorities in Alaska. She's also fully in stride with the Alaska Niniltna Native Association. In that role, the plot just drips local politics. You wonder how Stabenow, who lives in AZ, gets this Alaska stuff? The mine, home to many recalcitrant, greedy, park rats, also plays a background role in the environmental theme.Life's gonna change, we just don't know how. It's going to get better, I'm sure. However...without summary plot, this book just ends....
    • 4/5
      Change is creeping up on the Park. Global Harvest, the international corporation that owns mineral rights to the Suulutaq Mine is busily drilling core samples in an attempt to determine just how rich the gold seam they've discovered actually is. It's looking richer all the time, and as the dollar signs increase, the amount of money pouring back into the Park does as well. More people, unfortunately, mean more trouble for Kate and all the Park Rats. More people unfamiliar with the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, more young, unattached men looking to blow off some steam. And when one of them turns up dead, a possible suicide, Kate smells a rat - and not a Park Rat.When Stabenow's plots began to get darker and she killed Jack off, I swore off Stabenow for a while. I'm glad I picked this one up - I wouldn't say this is necessarily a kinder, gentler Kate, but the overall feel of the book is a bit lighter, which was a welcome change. A couple of laugh out loud spots, but not too much in the way of high drama or action. Albeit there's a definite ominous cloud looming in the form of Global Harvest and the environmentalist group plotting against them. One thing I will say - Stabenow's characters are memorable enough that even after a gap of several years I didn't feel as if I was floundering among unfamiliar faces.
    • 3/5
      Something about this book in the series was off for me. I just never got into it, never cared about the characters (who died). There wasn't much change for Kate either, things felt a bit stagnant or it was me. Hard times, I read this during Covid19 isolation/stress/uncertainty. Still love the series but every book can't be fore every person
