Overview

Two crewmen of the crab vessel Avilda are missing—presumed dead—under very suspicious circumstances. The Bering Sea offers ample means and opportunity, but without bodies, a motive, or evidence of foul play, the DA doesn’t have a case. And so, freelance investigator Kate Shugak finds herself working undercover in one of Alaska’s most dangerous professions: crab fisherman. The assignment will take her from the debauchery of Dutch Harbor to the most isolated of the Aleutians, and if the job itself doesn’t kill her, her crewmates just might.

Overview

Two crewmen of the crab vessel Avilda are missing—presumed dead—under very suspicious circumstances. The Bering Sea offers ample means and opportunity, but without bodies, a motive, or evidence of foul play, the DA doesn’t have a case. And so, freelance investigator Kate Shugak finds herself working undercover in one of Alaska’s most dangerous professions: crab fisherman. The assignment will take her from the debauchery of Dutch Harbor to the most isolated of the Aleutians, and if the job itself doesn’t kill her, her crewmates just might.

Third in Stabenow’s Edgar Award-winning series of Alaskan mysteries, Dead in the Water is richly informed by the author’s own upbringing aboard an Alaskan fishing vessel.

Editorial Reviews

Judith Kreiner
Understand, now, that mystery reviewers do not go out and buy mystery books [...] but after reading Dana Stabenow's Dead in the Water, I actually went out and spent my very own money to buy the two previous chapters in the adventures of Kate Shugak, Aleut investigator. [...] This one is right on target with its descriptions of the hardships of commercial fishing and the greed that motivates murder.

Meet the Author

Dana Stabenow was born in Anchorage and raised on 75-foot fish tender in the Gulf of Alaska. She knew there was a warmer, drier job out there somewhere and after having a grand old time working in the Prudhoe Bay oilfields on the North Slope of Alaska, making an obscene amount of money and going to Hawaii a lot, found it in writing.

Her first science fiction novel, Second Star, sank without a trace, her first crime fiction novel, A Cold Day for Murder, won an Edgar award, her first thriller, Blindfold Game, hit the New York Times bestseller list, and her twenty-seventh novel and eighteenth Kate Shugak novel, Though Not Dead, was released in February 2011.

Find her on the web at stabenow.com.

    Addictive!

    I started with this series at the first of the year and have now finished #5. These things are addictive. I'm not sure which is most interesting. . . the mystery, the engaging characters or Alaska. Slight, but well written, The Kate Shugak series is quite engaging.

    a kate shugak fan

    this was a little difficult getting into, esp. if you do not know a lot about fishing salmon, but it was worth it. I'm such a fan of dana stabenow that I know the book will keep me interested to read it in a day. I always love the tension between Kate and her grandmother, or one of her men-friends. Mutt is wonderful as always. Recommended Kate Shugak--if you read one, you have to read them all.
