A Taint in the Blood - [14] Kate Shugak mystery by Dana Stabenow

A flash (fire) from the past is the heart of the newest Kate Shugak murder mystery. As ever, Alaskan author Dana Stabenow expertly weaves the place and its politics into the tale. Kate goes South to Anchorage to investigate a 31 year cold case of arson/murder, angering one of Alaska's most powerful families. Longtime readers of this series will miss Kate's friends and family back in The Park ("twenty million acres, almost four times the size of Denali National Park but with less than one percent of the tourists,") but this foray into the bright lights of the big city shows that you can take the girl out of The Park, but you can't take The Park out of the girl.

Blood will tell - [06] Kate Shugak Mystery by Dana Stabenow

Mystery matters less than people and place in this sixth adventure for Native Alaskan investigator Kate Shugak (after Play with Fire). Relishing the prospect of a solitary winter at her isolated cabin, Shugak is pressured back to Anchorage by her grandmother, a leader of her Native association. A member of the association board dies mysteriously as the group prepares to vote on a controversial development initiative for tribal hunting and fishing lands. Soon after Shugak agrees to help, another board member suffers a fatal "accident." With the help of her lover, Jack Morgan, a local policeman, and the 140-pound Mutt, her half-Husky, half-Arctic gray wolf, Shugak sorts through tribal politics and a long trail of corruption in battles over land and oil. Sensing that lobbyists and developers have penetrated the Native association, Shugak fears that the truth may hit close to home. Even if Stabenow sometimes lapses into lecture tones to solve the puzzle, Alaska's rough and tumble history fascinates, and Shugak is an eloquent voice for Native Alaskan concerns in changing times.
