The third entry to the Nathan Active series.State Trooper Nathan Active has long been caught between identities. Born an Inupiat Eskimo but raised in Anchorage by adoptive white parents, he had little knowledge of his heritage before being assigned to the remote Alaskan town of Chukchi. He only realizes how deeply settled into the local rhythm he is when Grace Palmer, a local beauty queen, goes missing. Active mounts a search that will lead him halfway across Alaska—and give him plenty of time to discover he is in love with Grace. Closing in on the answers, however, he discovers evidence that points to an agonizing conundrum: she is either dead, or she is a cold-blooded killer.

Die Mumie eines vor achtzig Jahren gestorbenen Mannes, »Onkelchen Frost« genannt, verschwindet spurlos aus dem Ortsmuseum von Chukchi. Zwei Tage später wird der alte Victor Solomon draußen beim Eislochfischen tot aufgefunden – mit der Harpune in der Brust, die zu »Onkelchen Frost« gehörte. Alaska State Trooper Nathan Active steht vor einem Rätsel. Erst als er die Ältesten befragt, wird ihm klar, dass er tief in die Geschichte der Siedlung eintauchen muss. Nur noch wenige Menschen wissen von den alten Zeiten, als die Schamanen alle Macht hatten und kaum einer es wagte, sich gegen sie aufzulehnen. Doch die Nachfahren der damals Beteiligten haben die alten Geschichten nicht vergessen. Die Welten prallen aufeinander, am Schamanenpass kommt es zum Showdown.

Als sich in Chukchi, einem kleinen Städtchen im hohen Norden, mysteriöse Selbstmorde häufen, wird Alaska State Trooper Nathan Active neugierig. Nathan Active ist selbst Inupiat, glaubt aber nicht an den Klatsch über einen alten Schamanenfluch gegen den Clan. Von Amts wegen – Alaska State Troopers sollen sich nicht in die Angelegenheiten der Stadt-Polizei einmischen – gehen ihn diese Dinge auch nichts an. Er fängt an zu schnüffeln und steckt bald bis zum Hals in einem Umweltskandal, der ihn Kopf, Kragen und Karriere kosten kann. Als Actives Vorgesetzte nervös werden, weiß er, dass er auf der richtigen Spur ist.
