Book Synopsis
It seems the past has caught up with Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell. After a party of hunters stumbles upon a desiccated human hand clutching an incredibly rare 'double-eagle' gold coin, Liam Campbell is led to the broken remains of a World War II-era transport plane emerging from the face of a calving glacier. For some sixty years the glacier has held its secrets close: Who was on the ill-fated flight? What were they doing? 74-year-old Newenham matriarch Lydia Tompkins might have had the answers Campbell is looking for, but now she's dead too, murdered in her own home. And she won't be the last to die as a once-buried secret returns to haunt the present.

Trade Review
PRAISE FOR DANA STABENOW: 'A darkly compelling view of life in the Alaskan bush, well laced with lots of gallows humor. Believable and always suspenseful. Who could ask for more?' Sharon Penman. 'One of the strongest voices in crime fiction' Seattle Times. 'Stabenow is blessed with a rich prose style and a fine eye for detail. Outstanding' Washington Post. 'Crime fiction doesn't get much better than this' Booklist. 'For rich, idiosyncratic settings and engaging characters let me recommend Dana Stabenow' -- Diana Gabaldon
