A Storm's Fury . . . Awakened out of a sound sleep, Police Detective Ray Attla is disgruntled when he's assigned to the investigation of a death at an isolated oil rig in the icy Alaskan wilderness. Especially since he's off duty, tucked away in a little hut the used to call home on the Inupiat reservation. But Ray is the closest official to the scene and fierce Arctic storm has closed off the area. A Shaman's Vision . . . Despite dire warnings from his ancient grandfather and protests from his fiancee, Ray heads for the rig on his snowmobile and quickly determines that the frozen body encased in a piece of oil pipe is no accidental death. The victim's Rolex implicates a big-time oil man, and the marks of the Eskimo hunter slashed across his body point to ritual murder. With few clues, no reinforcements, and little help from a novice local deputy, Ray gives in to his grandfather's pleas that he consult the Inupiat shaman--but not before he's hunting a multiple killer, and not before he himself becomes the hunted . . .

It makes me cold just thinking about it...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This was my first book by this author and I will now look for more. While all of the Inuit language had me looking for the glossary a few times it kept me up at night to finish it. I liked how the author ties the old ways of the Inuits, racism and survival into one tale. With the vivid description I found myself shivering even while sitting next to a wood stove with the description of the howling winds. Kept me guessing until the last chapter.
A haunting, claustraphobic mystery with a touch of mysticism

If you like authors Sue Henry and Dana Stabenow, here is a great new find in the Alaskan mystery genre!! Read it in the summer. Reading it on a cold, dark winters night might be a little too real to handle. I highly recommend this book.
