Hunter's Moon

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.
HUNTER'S MOON: September. Kate guides a group of big game hunters. But she rapidly discovers that some in the party may have more than four-legged prey on their trophy list.
When Kate guides a hunting party of German businessmen in the Alaskan wilderness, turns out they want to kill not for food or sport, but for the sake of killing. Gripping and adrenaline-charged . . . razor-sharp suspense and gritty prose.--Publishers Weekly.
"It's where I live. I'm not special, or different. Not from anybody who lives like me. When you live in the Bush, you do what you have to to get by." She shrugged. "I live two hundred miles from the nearest town of any size. If the engine off a 747 falls through my roof, there aren't any carpenters within calling distance, even if I had a phone. I do it myself or it doesn't get done. Same goes for--what did you say?--butchering a moose, fixing an engine. If I want to eat, I get my moose. If I want to drive, I service my truck. No big deal." She turned back to the berries. "And that's probably what is most amazing," he said, more to himself than to her. "You actually believe that."
