Dana Stabenow Book order (chronological)

Bei minus vierzig Grad und Windstärke fünf einen Bohrkopf von der Ladefläche eines Pick-ups wuchten? Kein Problem für Kate Shugak. Als Hilfsarbeiterin getarnt, ist die Ex-Ermittlerin der Staatsanwaltschaft von Anchorage in Prudhoe Bay unterwegs. Viertausend Angestellte schuften hier für die Royal Petroleum Company, und einige von ihnen gehen illegalen Geschäften nach: Ein halbes Dutzend Überdosen wurden in drei Monaten gemeldet – eine davon tödlich. Der Vorstandsboss des Ölkonzerns hat gar keine Lust, das Problem einer Frau zu übertragen. Erst recht keiner indigenen. Doch Kate Shugak ist die beste Ermittlerin Alaskas, sie kennt Land und Leute wie niemand sonst. Und sie stellt bald fest: Kokain ist nicht die einzige illegale Substanz, mit der hier gehandelt wird, und die wahren Drahtzieher schrecken vor nichts zurück.

Pokračování volné série detektivních příběhů, ve které vystupuje neohrožená a svérázná Kate Shugaková, dříve nejlepší vyšetřovatelka státního návladního na nehostinné Aljašce. V jednom z tajících aljašských ledovců je nalezeno zamrzlé tělo Lena Dreyera, samotářského, ale zručného řemeslníka, který byl ochoten komukoli pomoci a vzít jakoukoli zakázku. Kate Shugaková, která si ho najímala na práce na svém pozemku, se společně se státním policistou Jimem Chopinem pouští po vychladlé stopě, aby vypátrala nelítostného vraha. Zlom nastává ve chvíli, kdy společně zjistí, že Len možná nebyl tím, za koho se vydával - a že Lenova minulost může být klíčem k rozmotání záhady jeho smrti. Kate krok za krokem skládá obraz muže skrývajícího temnější tajemství, než kdokoli tušil. Vyptává se místních, pro které Len Dreyer pracoval, a zjišťuje, že vědí víc, než jsou ochotni přiznat. A čím hlouběji Kate proniká pod povrch celého případu, tím jasnější je, že jde o víc než jen o jeden zločin a že Lenova minulost může ohrozit i ji samotnou... Nakladatelská anotace.

Der erste Frühlingstag in Alaska. Der Schnee beginnt zu schmelzen, die Vögel zwitschern. Kate Shugak erwacht noch vor dem Morgengrauen, geht mit Wolfshündin Mutt raus, bringt ihre Blockhütte auf Vordermann. Gleichzeitig steigt, nur wenige Kilometer entfernt, auch Roger McAniff aus dem Bett, putzt sich die Zähne, rasiert sich, reinigt und lädt sein brandneues Winchester-Gewehr. Während Shugak Feuerholz hackt und Mutt mit einem Wolf flirtet, zieht McAniff im Blutrausch durch das abgelegene Örtchen Niniltna im Hinterland. Der junge Mann passt haargenau in das Profil eines Massenmörders: weiß, Armeevergangenheit, unterdurchschnittliche Körpergröße, von der Frau verlassen. Doch als die Ermittler Bilanz des Amoklaufs ziehen, müssen sie mit Schrecken feststellen, dass nicht alle Opfer dieses verhängnisvollen Tages mit derselben Waffe ermordet wurden. Die Staatsanwaltschaft von Anchorage wendet sich erneut an ihre ehemalige Ermittlerin Kate Shugak. Kann die Privatdetektivin den zweiten Täter fassen, bevor seine Spuren im Schnee Alaskas erkalten?

Der Kapitän unfähig und korrupt, die Mannschaft gierig und unkollegial, die Bedingungen mehr als unwirtlich. Kate Shugak bereut, den gefährlichen Auftrag überhaupt angenommen zu haben. Aber sie kämpft für Gerechtigkeit: Christopher Alcala und Stuart Brown sind vor sechs Monaten von ebendem Schiff verschwunden, auf dem Shugak undercover als Krabbenfischerin angeheuert hat. Eigentlich Ermittlerin für die Staatsanwaltschaft von Anchorage, hält sie jetzt auf der Brücke Ausschau nach Eisbergen, sortiert Krabben, versenkt Fangkörbe in den Untiefen des dunklen Beringmeers – und lässt die Crew der Avilda dabei nicht aus den Augen. Warum sind die beiden Männer nie heimgekehrt? Hat der Skipper sie einfach ihrem Schicksal und der todbringenden Kälte Alaskas überlassen? Der Vorstand der Reederei macht Druck, die Seeversicherung weigert sich zu zahlen, die Familien der Vermissten fordern Aufklärung. Ihr neuester Fall führt Shugak von Dutch Harbor bis in die abgelegensten Ecken der aleutischen Vulkaninseln.

Im riesigen Nationalpark in Alaska ist Ranger Mark Miller seit sechs Wochen verschwunden. Das FBI schickt Kenneth Dahl, um ihn zu finden.

Die Suche bringt sie zurück in eine Vergangenheit, die sie hinter sich lassen wollte.

"Alaska's worst fire in decades left behind 125,000 acres of razed forest, three feet of ash, and one unburnt corpse. A ten-year-old boy has hired Kate Shugak to find his father. Daniel Seabolt has been missing since the previous summer, but his disappearance has never been reported. The boy's grandfather, the Right Reverend Pastor Simon Seabolt, has forbidden the tight-knit community even to speak Daniel's name. Unfortunately for the boy, Kate is already investigating the body of a man found buried under the ash of last year's forest fire. At first she thinks this man was caught out in the blaze, but the coroner returns cause of death as anaphylactic shock. And although the body is missing clothes and shoes, it is untouched by the fire..."--Back cover.

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…
