Edgar Award-winner Dana Stabenow has been praised by critics and mystery writers for her gritty, gutsy private eye, Kate Shugak - a native Aleut and former investigator for the Anchorage D.A.'s office - and for her portrayal of life on the last American frontier, Alaska. Now she makes her exciting hardcover debut with her fourth Kate Shugak mystery, a chilling crime tale set in the world of oil workers on a frigid field north of the Arctic Circle... The oil company's setup in the far reaches of the Alaskan tundra has everything: swimming pool, sauna, prime-rib dinners - and a brisk trade in illicit drugs. Pitting her anti-oil sentiments against the thousand-dollar-a-day fee, Kate Shugak goes undercover to find a cocaine connection along the Trans-Alaska pipeline. Transported to this isolated locale, Kate is cut off from her lover, D.A. investigator Jack Morgan, and her wolf-dog companion, Mutt. As the temperature plummets, the body count rises - and it's up to Kate to stop the cycle of drug overdoses and deadly on-the-job errors. But when a ring of dealer unmasks her undercover guise, they follow her tracks in a murderous race against time - and leave her to battle the harshest enemy of all: the great outdoors... A Cold-Blooded Business proves Dana Stabenow's sure hand at bringing spine-chilling suspense to a setting that's world apart - austere, mysterious, and irresistible.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Very Good
