Edgar-award winning author Dana Stabenow is best known for her Kate Shugak novels, but the unifying protagonist of almost all her writing—be it crime, fantasy, horror, or science fiction—is Alaska. This genre-spanning collection of sixteen short stories features familiar characters like Kate and Jim, Liam and Wy, and Bill and Moses, but also ranges farther afield than many listeners will expect, leaping from modern-day Anchorage to twenty-second century Mars to the fantasy kingdom of Mnemosynea. Remarkably disparate, but indisputably Stabenow, whose fertile imagination is anything but predictable.



Titles in this collection: 'Nooses Give,' 'Conspiracy,' 'Under the Influence,' 'Wreck Rights,' 'Cherchez la Femme,' 'Siren Song,' 'The Eyak Interpreter,' 'Any Taint of Vice,' 'On the Evidence,' 'Missing, Presumed . . .,' 'The Perfect Gift,' 'Gold Fever,' 'Cheechako,' 'No Place Like Home,' 'Justice is a Two-edged Sword,' and 'A Woman’s Work.'
