THOUGH NOT DEAD by Dana Stabenow - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by Dana Stabenow.In the newest entry in Dana Stabenow’s New York Times bestselling
Kate Shugak series, Kate and the rest of the Park rats are stunned by
the death of Old Sam, Kate’s eighty-seven-year-old uncle and foster
father. In his will, he leaves almost everything to Kate, including a
homestead deep in gold mining country that no one knew he had and a
letter that reads simply, “Find my father.”
Easier said than
done, since Sam’s father is something of a mystery: an outsider who
disappeared shortly after learning about Sam’s existence, he took with
him a priceless tribal artifact, a Russian icon. During the first three
days of Kate’s search, she gets shot at, whacked in the head, and run
off the road in deep snow and left for dead.
Interspersed with
flashbacks from Sam’s fascinating life, including scenes from major
events in Alaskan history, Kate does her best to fulfill Sam’s last
wish—as various people follow her every move, in search of the icon, Old
Sam’s gold, or possibly some other secret remnant of his long,
mysterious life.
