In the Shadow of Denali

by Tracie Peterson, Kimberley Woodhouse Narrated by Christina Moore

Overview

Cassidy Ivanoff and her father, John, work at the new and prestigious Curry Hotel outside Mt. McKinley. While John will be expedition and wilderness exploration guide for the wealthy tourists, Cassidy has signed on as a cook's assistant. Both are busy as the hotel prepares to welcome the president of the United States on his way to drive in the golden spike to officially complete the railroad.

Allan Brennan travels to the Curry Hotel to be an apprentice of a seasoned Alaska mountain guide. Ever since his father's death climbing Mt. McKinley, he's worked to earn enough money to make the trek to the Alaska territory himself. His father's partner blames their guide for the death of his father, but Allan wants to find the truth for himself. He finds an unlikely ally in Cassidy, and as the two begin to look into the mystery, they suddenly find that things are much less clear, and much more dangerous, than either could ever imagine.

In 1923, John Ivanoff and his daughter, Cassidy, both work at the Tony Curry Hotel at the base of Alaska's Mt. McKinley, or Denali, as the mountain is called by the indigenous people. He's a wilderness adventure guide, and she toils as a cook's assistant. Allan Brennan arrives, under the guise of hiking Mt. McKinley; however, he is really seeking the man who murdered his father. He suspects that it was Ivanoff who had led Henry Brennan and his business partner Frank on the fatal hike up the treacherous peak. Through the years, Frank did nothing to dissuade Allan of that notion. Now he must put his trust in God and decide what to do about Ivanoff as they, too, ascend the mountain. VERDICT Coauthors Peterson and Woodhouse (Beyond the Silence; All Things Hidden) begin a new series drawing on Alaska's rich history, featuring the authentic, lushly detailed setting and fleshed-out characterizations that fans of this duo have come to expect. Readers who enjoy Dani Pettrey will delight in immersing themselves in the Last Frontier.
