Description
Kate Shugak is a native Aleut working as a private investigator in Alaska. She's 5 feet 1 inch tall, carries a scar that runs from ear to ear across her throat, and owns a half-wolf, half-husky dog named Mutt. Resourceful, strong-willed, and defiant, Kate is tougher than your average heroine — and she needs to be to survive the worst the Alaskan wilds can throw at her.
Midnight Come Again opens with Kate hiding out in Bering, Alaska: scarred, frightened, and pretending to be someone else. Alaska State Trooper Jim Chopin, Kate's best friend, needs her help on a new case and finds her living under an assumed name in the small fishing village on Alaska's western coast, working eighteen-hour days as her only justification for getting up in the morning. Before they can discuss Kate's recent months or why Jim came looking for her, they are plunged into Jim's case, which proves to be more complicated — and more dangerous — than they suspect.
