A renegade terrorist with a bottomless personal grudge against all things American targets the most visible symbol of American prestige and power one clear morning in Florida as NASA prepares to launch the Space Shuttle. This time the shuttle carries a high-profile payload and a high-paying visitor on board as a guest, and astronaut Kenai Munro, the FBI special agent Patrick Chisolm and U.S. Coast Guard Captain Cal Schyler are doing everything they can to help the launch go off without a hitch. Can one terrorist with a gift for mass murder subvert all the forces arrayed against him in a bid for recognition and revenge? Once again Dana Stabenow delivers an action-driven thriller with an ingenious, frightening, straight-from-the-headlines plot, certain to be her next bestseller, Prepared for Rage.

A Night Too Dark is New York Times bestselling writer Dana Stabenow''s latest, the seventeenth in a series chronicling life, death, love, tragedy, mischief, controversy, nature, and survival in Alaska, America''s last real frontier.In Alaska, people disappear every day. In Aleut detective Kate Shugak''s Park, they''ve been disappearing a lot lately. Hikers head into the wilderness unprepared and get lost. Miners quit without notice at the busy Suulutaq Mine. Suicides leave farewell notes and vanish. Not only are Park rats disappearing at an alarming rate, but so is life in the Park as Kate knows it. Alaska state trooper Jim Chopin''s workload has increased to where he doesn''t make it home three nights out of four, the controversial mine has seduced Johnny and his classmates with summer jobs and divided the Niniltna Native Association—the aunties are to a woman selling out—and a hostile environmental activist organization has embraced the Suulutaq Mine as their reason for being. It''s almost a relief when Kate finds a body. This she can handle.Until the identity of the body vanishes, too.In this latest Kate Shugak novel, the smart, sexy PI, her wolf/husky hybrid Mutt, and Chopper Jim are only just beginning to realize the fallout from the discovery of the world''s second-largest gold mine in their backyard. "Mine change everything," Auntie Vi said in Whisper to the Blood (the previous book in the series and the first to hit the New York Times bestseller list).And it''s only just beginning.

The residents of Alaska''s largest national park are stunned by the death of one of their oldest members, eighty-seven-year-old Old Sam Dementieff…Even private investigator Kate Shugak. Sam, a lifelong resident, dubbed the "father" of all of the Park rats—even though he had no children of his own—was especially close to Kate, his niece, but even she is surprised to discover that in his will he''s left her everything, including a letter instructing her simply to, "find my father."Easier said than done, since Sam''s father is something of a mystery. An outsider, he disappeared shortly after learning about Sam''s existence, taking with him a priceless tribal artifact, a Russian icon. And in the three days after Kate begins her search through Sam''s background, she gets threatened—and worse.The flashbacks from Sam''s fascinating life, including scenes from major events in Alaska''s colorful history, punctuate a gripping story in which Kate does her best to fulfill Sam''s last wish without losing her own life to the people who are following her every move, though what they are searching for Kate doesn''t even know.In Dana Stabenow''s breathtaking new novel, Though Not Dead, the eighteenth to feature Kate Shugak, Kate''s search for the long-lost family secrets that have been interwoven with the epic history of an unforgiving land leads to an extraordinary treasure hunt with fatal consequences.
