Icy Clutches - Gideon Oliver, Bk 6 Author:Aaron Elkins On a trip to Alaska, Gideon Oliver becomes involved in a tantalizing mystery. Everyone finds it fortunate that the anthropologist/detective is nearby when human bones are found at an old avalanche site -- except for the person who thinks that murder is the best way to cover up the past.
This time it is Julie's job that takes Gideon to an odd location. And of course the bones come and find him. Set in Alaska, the icy realm produces the mystery that turns out to have murder in it.
