When the ice breaks up on a nameless Alaskan lake, one mystery is solved and another arises. Six months after Norm Lewis disappeared while flying out of Anchorage, his fractured Cessna is discovered half submerged in the frigid waters of this isolated lake hundreds of miles from his intended destination. But the only body in the plane is strapped in the passenger's seat - an unidentified woman apparently killed by the same bullets that punctured the fuselage. Who shot down the plane? Where is Norm? But most important, will Alex and Norm's wife, Rochelle, who feels she too must look for Norm, be able to solve the mystery before someone else dies? The splendors of Alaska's wilderness provide the backdrop for an investigation that ends up being as dangerous as a cornered grizzly. On a glacial plateau beyond the mountain ridges of Alaska's famous Sleeping Lady, Jensen and Rochelle pursue the solution in situations where one mistake can mean your life.
