Book Description:
Once, Kate Shugak was the star investigator of the Anchorage DA's office. Now she's gone back to her Aleut roots in the far north of Alaska. After a forest fire, she ventures into the charred woodlands to look for wild mushrooms. Instead, she finds a corpse - and a disturbing mystery. The victim was the son of a local preacher, and Kate's investigation leads her to an isolated settlement of fundamentalists, to the remains of a wooly mammoth in a Fairbanks museum...and down a twisted road of secrets and suspicions. Now she's determined to find out what fueled such murderous passions - and to identify the deadly spark that finally made a killer explode. "The locale is fresh, the murder method is diabolically clever, and the conclusion is a shocker." (Edmonton Journal)

Very disappointed in the anti-Christian rhetoric in this one. Really preachy against "organized religion"... I couldn't finish this book since every time I'd get through a church-bashing part and I thought the author was done with it, up it would come again.

I got tired of reading Stabenow's books in random order and finally got all 17 of them. They are staying on my book shelf - the stories are good, but the rich backgrounds and descriptions make them keepers. She and Diana Gabaldon stay on my shelves, but thank heavens Dana Stabenow doesn't wait 5 years between books.

Another excellent Kate Shugak mystery set in Alaska, very pertinent to today's discussions of evolution and intelligent design.
