"Kate Shugak demonstrates why she is...one of the best female sleuths in A Night Too Dark."--San Diego Union-Tribune

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. So it's almost a relief when Kate finally finds a body--this, more than politics, she can handle. Until the identity of the body vanishes, too... Now it's up to Kate and Jim to dig deeper into the mining controversy and find the truth about what's going on in her homeland. Even if that means facing down an enemy who will kill to keep certain secrets buried...

"A splendid series."--USA Today
