SPOILS

OF THE

DEAD

DANA

STABENOW

“For those who like series, mysteries, rich, idiosyncratic settings, engaging characters, strong women and hot sex on occasion, let me recommend Dana Stabenow.”

Diana Gabaldon

“A darkly compelling view of life in the Alaskan Bush, well laced with lots of gallows humor. Her characters are very believable, the story lines are always suspenseful, and every now and then she lets a truly vile villain be eaten by a grizzly. Who could ask for more?”

Sharon Penman

“Cleverly conceived and crisply written thrillers that provide a provocative glimpse of life as it is lived, and justice as it is served, on America’s last frontier.”

San Diego Union-Tribune

“Stabenow is blessed with a rich prose style and a fine eye for detail. An outstanding series.”

Washington Post

“Excellent… No one writes more vividly about the hardships and rewards of living in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness and the hardy but frequently flawed characters who choose to call it home. This is a richly rewarding regional series that continues to grow in power as it grows in length.”

Publishers Weekly

“A dynamite combination of atmosphere, action, and character.”

Booklist

“Full of historical mystery, stolen icons, burglaries, beatings, and general mayhem… The plot bursts with color and characters… If you have in mind a long trip anywhere, including Alaska, this is the book to put in your backpack.”

Washington Times

“One of the strongest voices in crime fiction.”
