This is one of my favorites in the Kate Shugak series. A man goes berserk on the first day of spring in Alaska and goes on a killing spree. After he is captured, they discover that one of the victims was shot with a different gun, and Kate is tasked to find the other killer. Stabenow knows how to weave a good twisting tale, and her respect for the native Alaskan culture is evident. The story is nicely capped off by her sweeping prose at the final scene that brings the mountains to life in all their magnificent glory.
