Alaska figures as a character in Stabenow's Shugak novels, and shapes the people. I suggest reading them from the first, nitty gritty plots and themes and a gutsy heroine, Kate, and not everything fun and flowers, some really hard times too. Over time through the series the characters evolve as is Alaska with changing politics, economy and people.
I read this one in 1 day. What a cliff hanger ending! I only visited Alaska 2 years ago and probably will never have the chance to return. Alaska is an AWESOME place, and the climate and ecology and natural wonders would take months to skim the surface; we had just 10 days. Stabenow's books are the next best thing.
Evidently a company had taken an option to produce a K. S. Alaska PI series, but dropped the option in May. So... we'll have to read the books. REALLY hope there is another in the works!!!
