      Der erste Frühlingstag in Alaska. Der Schnee beginnt zu schmelzen, die Vögel zwitschern. Kate Shugak erwacht noch vor dem Morgengrauen, geht mit Wolfshündin Mutt raus, bringt ihre Blockhütte auf Vordermann. Gleichzeitig steigt, nur wenige Kilometer entfernt, auch Roger McAniff aus dem Bett, putzt sich die Zähne, rasiert sich, reinigt und lädt sein brandneues Winchester-Gewehr. Während Shugak Feuerholz hackt und Mutt mit einem Wolf flirtet, zieht McAniff im Blutrausch durch das abgelegene Örtchen Niniltna im Hinterland. Der junge Mann passt haargenau in das Profil eines Massenmörders: weiß, Armeevergangenheit, unterdurchschnittliche Körpergröße, von der Frau verlassen. Doch als die Ermittler Bilanz des Amoklaufs ziehen, müssen sie mit Schrecken feststellen, dass nicht alle Opfer dieses verhängnisvollen Tages mit derselben Waffe ermordet wurden. Die Staatsanwaltschaft von Anchorage wendet sich erneut an ihre ehemalige Ermittlerin Kate Shugak. Kann die Privatdetektivin den zweiten Täter fassen, bevor seine Spuren im Schnee Alaskas erkalten?

      "Alaska's worst fire in decades left behind 125,000 acres of razed forest, three feet of ash, and one unburnt corpse. A ten-year-old boy has hired Kate Shugak to find his father. Daniel Seabolt has been missing since the previous summer, but his disappearance has never been reported. The boy's grandfather, the Right Reverend Pastor Simon Seabolt, has forbidden the tight-knit community even to speak Daniel's name. Unfortunately for the boy, Kate is already investigating the body of a man found buried under the ash of last year's forest fire. At first she thinks this man was caught out in the blaze, but the coroner returns cause of death as anaphylactic shock. And although the body is missing clothes and shoes, it is untouched by the fire..."--Back cover.
