От издателя
With her cabin a pile of ashes and her lite in pieces, champion Alaskan "musher" Jessie Arnold has gratefully accepted a friend's proposal that she drive his motor home up from Idaho, along the Alaska Highway -- a breathtaking, two thousand-mile-long route winding past hot springs, glaciers, and ice-blue lakes. But the idyllic trip takes a dark turn when a teenage hitchhiker brings terror aboard. Frightened and alone, Patrick Cutler disappears just before the police inform Jessie that the young runaway is wanted in connection with two shocking murders. Suddenly she is cast into a raging maelstrom of dark secrets and deadly consequences. And the cold and empty road she's traveling could be leading her not to her home...but to a grave in the trackless wilderness.

Great Read
Because this story does not take place all in Alaska with all Jessie's dogs I was worried I would not like this Jessie Arnold story as much as the others, but I was wrong. I liked this one just as much as all the others if not better. I have liked all the stories with Jessie's dogs in them but this one takes place while she is driving a friends motor home from the lower 48 through Canada to Alaska. Jessie does have Tank(her lead dog and best friend)with her. The book is full of murders, twists and turns that keep you reading until the end. I loved this book.
Even with all the suspense in this book Sue Henry has taken time to describe the landscape very well. It makes you want to go drive these highways yourself. Sounds like beautiful country. I may just have to plan a trip to see this area myself after reading this book.
I am usually a slow reader but I could not put this book down for long and was sad to finish it in just a few days. I had to start another Sue Henry book because this book left me wanting more Jessie stories.
