**The Edgar Award-winning, *New York Times* -bestselling series by Dana Stabenow set in Alaska. The discovery of a dead body and a brutal bear attack may be linked, and it’s up to Kate Shugak to investigate in *Breakup*.** ***The first day of Spring: a bad day to be in Alaska.*** Breakup: the time of year when Alaska awakens from its Arctic slumber. Snows melt. Rivers flood. Winter’s secrets emerge. This spring, the retreating ice reveals a corpse, and a starving she-bear mauls a woman to death. The corpse matches the description of a man missing since last year, the woman has been so badly mutilated she’s barely recognisable. Investigator Kate Shugak will dodge bullets, bears and a plane crash before she realizes that, somehow, there is a connection between the two deaths. **Reviewers on Dana Stabenow’s Kate Shugak series:** ‘An antidote to sugary female sleuths: Kate Shugak, the Aleut private investigator.’ ***New York Times*** ‘Crime fiction doesn’t get much better than this.’ ***Booklist*** ‘If you are looking for something unique in the field of crime fiction, Kate Shugak is the answer.’ **Michael Connelly** ‘An outstanding series.’ ***Washington Post*** ‘One of the strongest voices in crime fiction.’ ***Seattle Times***
