Kate ShugakReihe

Diese Serie begleitet eine scharfsinnige, indigene Alaskerin, die städtische Ermittlungen hinter sich lässt, um ihre wilderen Wurzeln zu umarmen. Sie lebt auf einem abgelegenen Anwesen mit ihrem treuen Hundegefährten und wird häufig in Geheimnisse und Verbrechen verwickelt, die die Ruhe ihres nördlichen Zuhauses stören. Ihre einzigartige Verbindung zum Land und ihr scharfer Intellekt erweisen sich als unschätzbar wertvoll, während sie im rauen, aber schönen alaskischen Umfeld die Wahrheit aufdeckt.

SEVERSKÁ KRIMI Z OPRAVDOVÉHO SEVERU… Ropná pole na severu Aljašky patří k nejdrsnějším místům na planetě a práce na nich, třebaže dobře placená, není ani snadná, ani příjemná. Tma, zima, sníh a k tomu civilizace tisíc kilometrů daleko. Není divu, že krédo těžařů zní: Po pořádné dřině pořádná zábava. Před alkoholem a hazardem vedení obvykle přivírá oči, ale nad sérií podezřelých předávkování už Royal Petroleum Company rukou mávnout nemůže. Nejde totiž jen o zdraví zaměstnanců, ale především o bezpečnost celého regionu. Společnost najme soukromou vyšetřovatelku Kate Shugakovou, aby v utajení zjistila, kdo a jakým způsobem zásobuje těžaře kokainem. A to se dealerovi pochopitelně líbit nebude. Obzvlášť když Kate přijde na to, že drogy nejsou ani zdaleka to nejlukrativnější zboží, které pašuje. Nejnávykovější látkou ze všech jsou totiž peníze a i ten, kdo jich má dost, chce vždycky víc…

Kate Shugaková byla kdysi uznávanou vyšetřovatelkou úřadu státního návladního v Anchorage. Dnes už ale loví zločince jen ze své rodné usedlosti v srdci aljašské divočiny a jediným parťákem je jí věrná kříženka vlka a huskyho Obluda. Po náročném případu na dalekém severu Kate vyrazí i s Obludou zahoubařit si do lesa zničeného děsivým požárem. Přitom však v popelu objeví sežehnuté tělo. Policie chce případ kvůli nedostatku důkazů uzavřít jako nehodu, ale instinkt říká Kate něco jiného. A když si ji „najme“ nešťastný desetiletý chlapec, aby vypátrala jeho pohřešovaného otce, začne se Kate bát, že ho už našla. Přesto se pouští do složitého vyšetřování, které ji zavede do odlehlé, uzavřené komunity náboženských fundamentalistů, jejichž názory a přesvědčení nepřipouštějí žádnou opozici. V srdci tohoto společenství totiž doutná zlo, které se nezastaví před ničím – ani před vraždou.
