A Fatal Thaw (A Kate Shugak Investigation Book 2)

Eleven days ago, Roger McAniff bought himself a new Winchester 30.06 rifle. Ten days ago he went out to check it. Now nine individuals are dead. But only eight were killed by McAniff…

Stephen Syms. Patrick Jorgensen. Lyle and Lucy Longstaff. Lisa Getty. The Weiss circle of relatives, John, Tina, and their two children. All slaughtered.

Considering she would have been his final victim, private investigator Kate Shugak almost regrets not killing Roger McAniff. But Lisa Getty used to be killed by a different rifle. Different rifle, different shooter. And Kate is tasked with tracking this unknown killer down before the case goes completely cold…
