Synopsis

"Dana Stabenow excels at evoking the bleakness and beauty of the far north."
-Seattle Times/Post Intelligencer

Kate Shugak hires onto the staff of a political campaign to work security for a Native woman running for state senator. The candidate has been receiving anonymous threats, and Kate, who went to college with two of the staffers, is to become her shadow, watching the crowds at rallies and fund-raisers. But just as she's getting started, the campaign is rocked by the murder of their staff researcher. In order to track the killer, Kate will have to retrace the researcher's steps and delve into the past, in particular the grisly murder of a "good-time girl" during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1915. Little can she guess the impact a ninety-year-old unsolved case could have on a modern-day psychotic killer. . .

The Singing of the Dead by Dana Stabenow is one of the better ones in the series about Alaska native kate Shugak, the reluctant detective. I very much liked the two timelines in this story to get to the end and some remarkable revelations about Kates history. But I also liked the telling of strong w......more
