Edgar Award winner Dana Stabenow has written nine atmospheric crime novels featuring the very prickly， very human Kate Shugak， but her novels also have a scene-stealing costar: Alaska， unforgiving， breathtaking， dangerous， and beautiful. Stabenow s evocation of this wilderness， combined with her talent for bringing characters to life and creating knuckle-whitening suspense， has made her "one of the strongest voices in crime fiction." (Seattle Times).Now in Midnight Come Again， all these elements come together for Stabenow s most compelling Kate Shugak novel to date.Kate， a former investigator for the Anchorage D.A. and now a P.I. for hire， is missing after a winter spent in mourning. Alaska State Trooper Jim Chopin， Kate s best friend， needs her to help him work a new case. He discovers her hiding out in Bering， a small fishing village on Alaska s western coast， living and working under an assumed name-- working hard， as eighteen-hour workdays seem to be her only justification for getting up in the morning. But before they can even discuss Kate s last several months， or what Jim is doing looking for her in Bering， they re up to their eyes in Jim s case， which is suddenly more complicated-- and more dangerous-- than they suspected.A magnificent crime novel about life in America s last wilderness， the heart-wrenching grief that goes with love， and murder， Midnight Come Again is Dana Stabenow s best novel to date.
