About this ebook
Alaska Native private detective Kate Shugak investigates a brutal murder spree in the gripping second mystery from Dana Stabenow's Edgar Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling series.
Eleven days ago, Roger McAniff bought himself a new Winchester 30.06 rifle.
Ten days ago he went out to test it.
Now nine people are dead.
Stephen Syms. Patrick Jorgensen. Lyle and Lucy Longstaff. Lisa Getty. John and Tina Weiss and their two children. All slaughtered.
But only eight were murdered by the same killer.
Considering she would have been his final victim, Kate Shugak almost regrets not killing McAniff. But one of his victims was killed by a different rifle.
Different rifle, different shooter. And Kate must track this unknown killer down before the case goes completely cold.
