2020: A blizzard has cut of Alaska from the outside world
2020: A blizzard has cut of Alaska from the outside world
It is New Year’s Eve, nearly six weeks into an off-and-on blizzard that has locked Alaska down, effectively cutting it off from the outside world.
But now there are reports of a plane down in the Quilak mountains. With the National Transportation Safety Board unable to reach the crash site, ex-Trooper Jim Chopin is pulled out of retirement to try to identify the aircraft, collect the corpses, and determine why no flight has been reported missing. But Jim discovers survivors: two children who don’t speak a word of English.
Meanwhile, PI Kate Shugak receives an unexpected and unwelcome accusation from beyond the grave, a charge that could change the face of the Park forever.
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.
