Bad blood comes to the fore when star-crossed love ends in murder...
One hundred years of bad blood between two Alaskan villages come to a boil when a young Kushtaka man is found dead. The prime suspect is a Kuskulana man, already in trouble in both villages for falling in love across the divide.
But now he's disappeared and a second killing looks suspiciously like payback.
Kate Shugak must untangle the village tales of tragedy and revenge in order to find the truth before it's too late...
