About this eBook
The Edgar Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling series by Dana Stabenow set in Alaska. The discovery of a dead body and a brutal bear attack may be linked, and it's up to Kate Shugak to investigate in Breakup.
The first day of Spring: a bad day to be in Alaska.
Breakup: the time of year when Alaska awakens from its Arctic slumber. Snows melt. Rivers flood. Winter's secrets emerge.
This spring, the retreating ice reveals a corpse, and a starving she-bear mauls a woman to death. The corpse matches the description of a man missing since last year, the woman has been so badly mutilated she's barely recognisable.
Investigator Kate Shugak will dodge bullets, bears and a plane crash before she realizes that, somehow, there is a connection between the two deaths.

This has always been my favorite Kate Shugak book, with its crazy comedy of errors involving wildlife, idiotic people and Alaskan weather. I've read it over and over again, usually when I need a cobination of entertainment and Dana Stabenow's spectacular writing. When I recommend her books to toursts to Alaska, this is the one I try to set them up with. It's not the first in the Kate Shugak series, but it is the most fun.
