Blurb:: Once, Kale Shugak was the star investigator of the Anchorage D.A.'s office. Now she's gone back to her Aleut roots in the far Alaska north--where her talent for detection makes her the toughest crime-tracker in that stark and mysterious land...

After a forest fire, Kate ventured into the charred woodlands to look for wild mushrooms. Instead she found a corpse--and a disturbing mystery. The victim was the son of a local preacher, and Kate's investigation leads her to an isolated settlement of fundamentalists, to the remains of a woolly mammoth in a Fairbanks museum ... and down a twisted road of secrets and suspicions. Now she's determined to find out what fueled such murderous passions--and identify the deadly spark that finally made a killer explode...
