KATE SHUGAK is a native Aleut working as a private investigator in
Alaska. She's 5 foot 1 inch tall, carries a scar that runs from ear
to ear across her throat and owns half-wolf, half-husky dog named
Mutt. Resourceful, strong-willed, defiant, Kate is tougher than your
average heroine - and she needs to be to survive the worst the
Alaskan wilds can throw at her.
A DEEPER SLEEP. Kate Shugak is determined to convict the odious
Louis Deem, who has been arrested and tried for several serious
crimes but never convicted.
This time, Kate is convinced, it will be different. But when the
jury returns a verdict of not guilty, Kate believes that Deem has
literally got away with murder. And when, a few weeks later, two
people turn up dead after an apparent robbery, Kate can't help but
believe that Deem is involved... but what will it take to bring him
to justice?
