Whisper To The Blood (Kate Shugak #16)
Author: Dana Stabenow
Desc: A mining company has discovered a rich mineral deposit in Alaska's enormous Iqaluk Wildlife Refuge. Politicos see dollar signs for the state but Ninilta residents who live near the proposed site are split: Will outsiders take the jobs? Will the environment be harmed by pollution? Will roads disintegrate . . . tourists invade? As the new chairperson of Ninilta's Native Association a job she never wanted Kate is embarassingly ill-equipped to handle the questions. Nor is she prepared when two individuals associated with the company turn up dead. Kate Shugak is a native Aleut working as a private investigator in Alaska. She's 5 foot 1 inch tall carries a scar that runs from ear to ear across her throat and owns half-wolf half-husky dog named Mutt. Resourceful strong-willed defiant Kate is tougher than your average heroine - and she needs to be to survive the worst the Alaskan wilds can throw at her.
