Kate Shugak is hiding out in Bering, Alaska. Scarred, scared, and pretending to be someone else... But Alaska State Trooper Jim Chopin, Kate's best friend, needs her to help him work a new case. He discovers her hiding out in Bering, a small fishing village on Alaska's western coast, living and working under an assumed name – working hard, as 18-hour workdays seem to be her only justification for getting up in the morning. But before they can even discuss Kate's last several months, or what Jim is doing looking for her in Bering, they're up to their eyes in Jim's case, which is suddenly more complicated – and more dangerous – than they suspect.

      Midnight Come Again
    • "The spring thaw in Alaska brings nothing but mayhem to Kate Shugak: taxes, rampaging bears, family feuds, a jet engine crashing into her backyard, and a dead body under the melting snow"--

      Two women have been savagely attacked. One is dead. The obvious suspect is a man found near the scene clutching a knife, covered in blood. Another man commits suicide after writing a confession. One crime, two suspects. And Kate Shugak thinks that someone is getting away with murder.

THE SINGING OF THE DEAD: Kate Shugak joins 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 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. To track the killer, Kate will have to 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 might have on a modern-day psychotic killer...

DEAD IN THE WATER: Last March, two men disappeared whilst loading supplies on a remote island in the Bering Sea: two million square miles of dark capricious ocean and tempestuous squalls. Their Skipper, Harry Gault, should have been fired, at the least. But six months later he's still aboard the Avilda, and the families of the missing men are making noises about corruption. With the crew backing his version of events, what the authorities need is an investigator who can survive the torturous conditions on an Alaskan fishing trawler. Someone like Kate Shugak...

      SEVERSKÁ KRIMI Z OPRAVDOVÉHO SEVERU… Ropná pole na severu Aljašky patří k nejdrsnějším místům na planetě a práce na nich, třebaže dobře placená, není ani snadná, ani příjemná. Tma, zima, sníh a k tomu civilizace tisíc kilometrů daleko. Není divu, že krédo těžařů zní: Po pořádné dřině pořádná zábava. Před alkoholem a hazardem vedení obvykle přivírá oči, ale nad sérií podezřelých předávkování už Royal Petroleum Company rukou mávnout nemůže. Nejde totiž jen o zdraví zaměstnanců, ale především o bezpečnost celého regionu. Společnost najme soukromou vyšetřovatelku Kate Shugakovou, aby v utajení zjistila, kdo a jakým způsobem zásobuje těžaře kokainem. A to se dealerovi pochopitelně líbit nebude. Obzvlášť když Kate přijde na to, že drogy nejsou ani zdaleka to nejlukrativnější zboží, které pašuje. Nejnávykovější látkou ze všech jsou totiž peníze a i ten, kdo jich má dost, chce vždycky víc…

      Killing Grounds
    • "Kate Shugak's family becomes involved in a murder investigation in Blood Will Tell. Fifty thousand square miles of untouched Alaskan forest is definitely a prize... but is it worth killing for?

So when she arrives unannounced at Kate Shugak's homestead asking for her granddaughter's help, Kate knows there must be something seriously amiss in town. And her suspicions are confirmed when she arrives in town to find that two people are dead. It could be a coincidence, but Kate Shugak doesn't like coincidences; especially where family are concerned"--
