Shaman Pass: A Nathan Active Mystery: 2 - Softcover

Praise for Shaman Pass

"In a robust sequel to White Sky, Black Ice, this Alaska state trooper is still burdened by his urban upbringing and his aversion to ice and snow . . . Active maintains his awe of the vast Alaskan tundra, a forbidding region that Jones renders in all its bone-chilling beauty."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Jones captures in precise detail . . . the starkly individual spirit of this village's collection of characters . . . His depiction of a freezing world of tar-paper houses and whaling camps is absolutely convincing . . . The effect is one of wry immersion in a mildly cantankerous society whose members are eccentric only in comparison to 'the outside.'"
--Houston Chronicle

"Solid police work in a cold climate."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Stirring . . . Jones skillfully depicts the beauty and desolation of the 'treeless tundra' in winter as well as the hardships of survival in one of the world's harshest climates."
--Publishers Weekly

"Jones creates a stunning authentic sense of Alaskan history and of culture still in the throes of change."
--Booklist

When the murder of a curmudgeonly old Inuit leader links to the theft of a mummy slated for display in a new museum, Active finds himself in charge of the case.
