Breakup

"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"--

The seventh mystery in the Edgar Award-winning Kate Shugak series set in Alaska, by Dana Stabenow. Kate investigates a brutal bear attack – and the unexpected discovery of a corpse.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Edgar Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling series by Dana Stabenow set in Alaska. The discovery of a dead body and a brutal bear attack may be linked, and it's up to Kate Shugak to investigate in Breakup.

The first day of Spring: a bad day to be in Alaska.

Breakup: the time of year when Alaska awakens from its Arctic slumber. Snows melt. Rivers flood. Winter's secrets emerge.

This spring, the retreating ice reveals a corpse, and a starving she-bear mauls a woman to death. The corpse matches the description of a man missing since last year, the woman has been so badly mutilated she's barely recognisable.

Investigator Kate Shugak will dodge bullets, bears and a plane crash before she realises that, somehow, there is a connection between the two deaths.
