Perhaps the best of the Shugak books, Stabenow has woven a number of interesting bits of real history into the story (eg. who knew Dascell Hammitt served in the Aleutians in World War II?) which is clearly a fiction... and a great companion on an airplane, as to story carries over the tedium of a long flight. While clearly a part of the Shugak series, it's not necessary to have read the earlier books to enjoy this one.
