Talia MacLeod is a popular Olympic biathalon who has been hired by the gold mine to promote their presense in the region. She's trying to convince all of the local citizens that the mine will bring jobs and prosperity and that the changes will be progress. Kate Shugak isn't convinced and now she finds herself as the head of the N'nitna Native Association. Things start heating up when a man working for the mine is shot to death. Then Kate's ward, Johnny, and others are attacked on the river on snowmobiles. Kate starts to realize that she has been out of the loop and it's time for her to start righting some wrongs.
Kate Shugak is a rich and wonderful character. She's fascinating because she isn't afraid to do what needs to be done and she commands respect. Whether it's facing down a rival for her man or finding out who is causing problems for the locals, Kate is the woman to get the job done. This is fast becoming one of my favorite series. I'm glad to have another series of books that I love listening to.
