Midnight Come Again

Midnight Come Again by Stabenow, Dana. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780312205966.

Edgar Award winner Dana Stabenow has written nine atmospheric crime novels featuring the very prickly, very human Kate Shugak, but her novels also have a scene-stealing costar: Alaska, unforgiving, breathtaking, dangerous, and beautiful. Stabenows evocation of this wilderness, combined with her talent for bringing characters to life and creating knuckle-whitening suspense, has made her "one of the strongest voices in crime fiction." (Seattle Times). Now in Midnight Come Again, all these elements come together for Stabenows most compelling Kate Shugak novel to date. Kate, a former investigator for the Anchorage D.A. and now a P.I. for hire, is missing after a winter spent in mourning. Alaska State Trooper Jim Chopin, Kates best friend, needs her to help him work a new case. He discovers her hiding out in Bering, a small fishing village on Alaskas western coast, living and working under an assumed name-- working hard, as eighteen-hour workdays seem to be her only justification for getting up in the morning. But before they can even discuss Kates last several months, or what Jim is doing looking for her in Bering, theyre up to their eyes in Jims case, which is suddenly more complicated-- and more dangerous-- than they suspected. A magnificent crime novel about life in Americas last wilderness, the heart-wrenching grief that goes with love, and murder, Midnight Come Again is Dana Stabenows best novel to date.
