Straley loves Alaska--its cold, wetness, and distances. He isn't so hot about big energy, air travel and drop-in environmentalists. He doesn't mind the thrown-together feel of the cities. The book digs in on you as you read. And you shiver a little wondering why are some people so bad and others so good. But if you made everyone middling muddlers what kind of mystery would you have? ( ) Creek Street is a collection of buildings built on pilings along the creek. A hundred years ago it was the red-light district of Ketchikan, AK. As Cecil Younger stands there today, the police are pulling the body of a young woman, Louise Root, from the waters. Her throat has been slit. She was Younger’s client. She had hired him to the expose corporate cover-up of the rape she had suffered at a nearby gold mine. Also watching is Hannah, Louise’s friend and Younger’s former lover. Younger feels he needs to finish the job. The police want him to stay out of it. The mining corporation wants to pay him money for information on an environmentalist. And Younger is fighting his own demon, his desire for a drink. I’ve seen Southeastern Alaska. It’s beautiful. It’s gray. It’s damp. It’s chilly. And it is obvious that the author knows it much better than I do. This was the second in a series. I'm glad there are more. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

When Louise Root, a new client of Cecil Younger, is found murdered, the private investigator finds himself in the middle of an environmental law violation that has deadly repercussions. Cecil finds he is unable to leave behind Root, especially after her ex-lover Hannah asks him for help. On top of it all, Global Mining, the company that runs the gold mine where Root's body was found, hires Younger to get the dirt on an environmentalist who has a connection to the victim. In the midst of all this, Cecil's personal life is fraying as he keeps secrets from his ward, Todd, and tries to keep his drinking under control. In the sequel to The Woman Who Married a Bear, Straley returns with his sensitive, if slightly unstable, investigator. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
