2000s: Two men disappeared whilst loading supplies on a remote island in the Bering Sea
Last March, two men disappeared whilst loading supplies on a remote island in the Bering Sea: two million square miles of dark capricious ocean and tempestuous squalls.
Their Skipper, Harry Gault, should have been fired, at the least. But six months later he’s still aboard the Avilda, and the families of the missing men are making noises about corruption. With the crew backing his version of events, what the authorities need is an investigator who can survive the torturous conditions on an Alaskan fishing trawler. Someone like Kate Shugak..
The Park, Alaska
The area known as The Park is north of Katalla and around the east of Anchorage.
Real towns of Chitina and the mountain range are roughly where the action takes place. Anchorage features too of course.
The national parks and the barren wastelands are extremely well evoked. Alaska in all its cold, white, remote glory comes to life here.
