The vast, untamed land of Alaska is revealed in awesome majesty. Native peoples of Alaska have spent millions of lifetimes confronting the fearsome elements of destruction - the bitter winds of Mother Nature, the unlimited might of great armies of the world. In a novel that ranges from the near-forgotten past to the highly technological present, from self-defense to self-determination, here is Alaska's emotional and violent history. It is a stirring portrait of a human community living on the edge of the world, claiming a bold heritage of survival against all odds.

The look of sheer terror frozen on the face of the doomed woman indicated that her fatal fall from an upper story of an upper story of an unfinished Seattle skyscraper was no desperate suicide. It will forever haunt Detective Beaumont. But his hunt for answers and justice is leading to more death and to dark secrets guarded by men of steel behind the locked doors of a powerful union that extracts its dues payment in blood.
