If Kate Foland had known how her bed and breakfast guest would change her life, she might have left her at the airport. When Kate's guest is shot to death while hiking in the Alaskan woods, Kate feels compelled to investigate. Sandra Allison seemed like a perfectly nice young woman. So who would want her dead? Sandra's archeology work often caused construction delays while Native artifacts were removed. Did a Juneau builder follow up a threat with a gunshot? Or was Kate the intended victim, since Sandra was wearing Kate's coat and walking her dog? And why is the dog suddenly acting like a scaredy-cat? Kate's investigation leads her through Juneau's construction sites, Native community, and tourist attractions. But when the killer turns his sights on Kate's family, Kate must do more than solve a murder-she must save her son. The spectacular scenery and offbeat characters of Alaska come to life in this cozy mystery.
