Kate Shugak was an investigator for the Anchorage D.A.'s office until she got her throat cut. Now she's returned to her cabin and land in Denali National Park, about twenty-five miles from the nearest town, Niniltna. Kate's been in the Park for over a year when her former boss, Jack Morgan brings in an FBI agent to ask for her help in finding a missing ranger and the agent they sent in to find him. Kate doesn't want to get involved but she helped train the agent that's lost and she's related to most of the people in the Park so she is the best choice. Kate and Mutt (her half-wolf companion) set out to find the missing men or their bodies and determine how they died.
