Kate Shugak: Book 23
Publication Date: April 11, 2023
What seems a tragic accident soon becomes a murder investigation as Kate is drawn into a case of political intrigue.
A mid-air collision in the Alaskan wilderness between two small aircraft leaves ten people dead. Was it a bird strike, pilot error… or premeditated murder?
Then an eleventh body is found in the wreckage: a man shot gangland style, twice in the chest and once in the head.
In an investigation that reaches to the highest levels of government, justice may not be served, but Kate Shugak is determined that the truth will out, even at the risk of her life and the lives of those she loves most.
The beauty of Alaska shines through as author Dana Stabenow continues her thrilling series featuring private investigator Kate Shugak.
Not the Ones Dead marks the 23rd installment, once again creating an action-packed adventure featuring well-developed characters and an intriguing mystery.
In a land where air travel is the primary means of transportation, a mid-air collision between two planes claims multiple victims. The story takes a more sinister twist when the investigation reveals an additional victim dead with gunshot wounds.
The author skillfully weaves in a secondary narrative focusing on a new cult-like group of residents in the area who rely on armed guards and intimidation tactics.
Kate spearheads the investigation that promises danger at every turn. Despite the danger, she’s determined to reveal the truth, no matter the cost.
While this was my first introduction to the series, I had no problems getting my bearings. If anything, it certainly has motivated me to go back and catch up on the other books.
Not the Ones Dead provides a thrilling roller coaster ride as the characters race against the clock to solve a mystery with unexpected implications.
