No Fixed Line

‘Fans will hope this series goes on forever’ *Publishers Weekly*. *… though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,* *There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed.* It is New Year’s Eve, nearly six weeks into an off-and-on **blizzard that has locked Alaska down** , effectively cutting it off from the outside world. But now there are reports of a plane down in the Quilak mountains. With the National Transportation Safety Board unable to reach the crash site, ex-Trooper Jim Chopin is pulled out of retirement to try to identify the aircraft, collect the corpses, and determine why no flight has been reported missing. But **Jim discovers survivors: two children who don’t speak a word of English.** Meanwhile, PI Kate Shugak receives an unexpected and **unwelcome accusation from beyond the grave** , a charge that could change the face of the Park forever. **’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 **.**
