Synopsis

A renegade terrorist with a bottomless personal grudge against all things American targets the most visible symbol of American prestige and power one clear morning in Florida as NASA prepares to launch the Space Shuttle. This time the Shuttle carries a high-profile payload and a high-paying visitor on board as a guest, and astronaut Kenai Munro, FBI special agent Patrick Chisholm and U.S. Coast Guard Captain Cal Schyler are doing everything they can to help the launch go off without a hitch. Can one terrorist with a gift for mass murder subvert all the forces arrayed against him in a bid for recognition and revenge?

Review

Outstanding Praise for Dana Stabenow "All the elements that have made the author's signature Kate Shugak crime series successful shine in this fifteenth entry: Kate's personal growth as a woman and as an investigator, the Alaskan environment in all its unforgiving beauty, and a mystery whose solution remains in doubt until the end." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "A Deeper Sleep ""Stabenow once again presents us with a cleverly conceived and crisply written thriller that provides a provocative glimpse of life as it is lived and justice as it is served on America's last frontier." --"The San Diego Union-Tribune "on" A Deeper Sleep ""A taut, atmospheric thriller . . . The author paints convincing portraits of masterminds, mercenaries, and CIA operatives, and jacks up the adrenaline with a high-speed ocean chase." --"People" magazine on "Blindfold Game ""A tense and tautly written thrill ride that keeps readers hooked all the way to the explosive climax . . . By the time the plot kicks into high gear, the setting is firmly established as both authentic and believably dangerous." --"San Francisco Chronicle" on "Blindfold Game ""Edgar winner Stabenow has crafted a taut, credible thriller that should win her a much larger audience. . . . Stabenow has established herself as a fine mystery writer, but she may have found her true metier with this excellent thriller." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) on "Blindfold Game ""Every time I think Dana Stabenow has gotten as good as she can get, she comes up with something better." --"The Washington Times ""An intelligent crime novel that reflects both [Stabenow's] love of wilderness and her understanding of the complex questions of profit versus the purity of the frontier." --"The Dallas Morning News "on "A Fine and Bitter Snow ""If you haven't discovered this splendid North Country series, now is the time. . . . Highly entertaining."
