Publisher Description

New York Times bestseller Dana Stabenow returns with her most outstanding novel yet, teaming up two of her most beloved characters, Aleut private investigator Kate Shugak and Alaska state trooper Liam Campbell, in the same story for the first time.

Alaska aviation entrepreneur Finn Grant died in the fiery crash of his Piper Super Cub. Someone sabotaged his engine, and virtually everyone in southwestern Alaska has a motive, including his betrayed wife, his bullied children, and Liam's wife, bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard. With few places to turn, Liam asks his former mentor Niniltna post commander Sergeant Jim Chopin, for help, and Jim quickly brings Kate onto the case.

Working undercover as—of all things—a waitress at Bill's Bar and Grill, Kate learns over beer and burgers that Grant's business had expanded meteorically over the last two years. After buying the closed Air Force base south of town from the federal government at a bargain-basement price, he became a fixed-base operator running his fishing, hunting, and flight-seeing business, servicing planes flying through the area, and most interestingly and lucratively, getting into the air freight business. But what kind of freight was he moving, and where?

The answers involve Kate in her most challenging case to date, one that starts with murder and quickly sprawls into a much larger conspiracy ranging from the darkest family secrets to treason and beyond. Restless in the Grave is a treat for fans and another outstanding addition to Dana Stabenow's acclaimed and award-winning series.

Marina Ariadne ,

A rare 5⭐️ review

Usually, 4 stars is the limit, and a 5-star has to be superlative.
Of this series, Blood Will Tell, Hunter’s Moon, and Though Not Dark got five stars from me before this novel. Thank goodness Ms. Stabenow is not as deep into protagonist torture the way Dorothy Dunnett was for Francis Crawford of Lymond and Sevigny and Nicholas (first Claus, then Nicollò) vander Poele of Bruges.

There are enough plot threads to make a tapestry weaver happy.

Who murdered a man who is as good a pilot as he was an execrable human being?
Where did the money come from?
Why are there two new hot male characters to test Kate, one of whom has his own series and wife?
Why does the widow have such grief to bear from her family?
How will the NNA manage without Kate at the helm, with cousin Axenia (not living in the Park) a new board member, and a previously invisible Annie Mike replacing Kate?
Just how harried is Jim now that the Park’s got cell coverage and everyone is calling 911?
How do characters from previous books, popping up all over, fit in the story?
Jim has some potentially life-changing news that he hasn’t shared with Kate by the end of the book. Why is that?
How many times in one book can Kate elude her own death, same going for Mutt?

For the answers to most of these questions, stop reading this review—go buy and read this book!
