Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

Alaska State Trooper Alex Jensen is faced with solving the mystery of what became of pilot Norm Lewis, whose plane disappeared six months ago in the vast white wilderness. When Norm's battered plane is found, empty except for the decomposed, bullet-riddled body of an unidentified female, his wife, Rochelle, is shocked and puzzled. Norm is nowhere to be found, and Rochelle, herself a pilot, demands to be included in the search. When the body in the plane turns out to be that of a federal agent who was investigating big-game poachers, the FBI steps in. But it's Alex and Rochelle who go after the killers and put their lives on the line to discover what's behind Norm's disappearance.

"Twice as vivid as Michener's natural ALASKA, at about a thousandth the length." (Washington Post)

Norm Lewis disappeared in the fall. Now his plane is found in an Alaskan lake off the path of his flight plan, but his body is missing. The body of a woman identified as an undercover fish and wildlife agent is found in the passenger seat. The plane had been shot down, but the autopsy finds she was beaten, likely dying from that, before the gunshot wound occurred. What happened to the pilot? His wife Rochelle flies to the location to try to locate her husband. Trooper Alex Jensen talks Rochelle into going home while they continue to gather evidence. She discovers a break-in at their home. Alex gets an uneasy feeling about the flight she's supposed to be making to take clients hunting, but he figures his remaining questions for her can wait until the next day. When her flight plan is checked, he discovers she was bound for the site the plane went down and was planning to be gone a week. He and his pilot are joined by a man who identifies himself as a colleague of the murdered agent. Alex has some doubts about his identity though. Will they catch the poaching entourage before they end up becoming food for the bears? What an unexpected turn at the end! I enjoyed the setting of this one, but I suspect I enjoyed it more in audio format than I might have in print. I was a little disappointed Jessie didn't figure more prominently in this one, but we got to know Alex a little better in this one. ( )

This series takes place in Alaska with trooper Alex Jensen as the main character. Some hikers find what's left of an airplane that disappeared with the pilot, Norm Lewis, six months before. However, they don't find Lewis but do find the body of a woman strapped in the passenger seat. Lewis' wife, Rochelle, a pilot herself flies in to help. it turns out the woman was an undercover agent with the Fish & Wildlife division helping on an investigation into big time poaching in Alaska. As it turns out, someone shot the plane out of the sky but the agent, Karen Randolph, was already dead having been beaten by a member of the poaching outfit who found out she was undercover. Someone shot Lewis' legs and chased a bear right at him. Alex Jensen and a friend, Ben Cas, plus another Fish & Wildlife agent plus Rochelle Lewis end up fighting off the poachers. Pretty good. I'd read more of this series.

Short and concise mystery set in Alaska. Fast paced with exciting characters. Great mystery. There was a lot of Alaska in this novel--big bears and airplanes, for example, that make it a unique story. Characters are well developed and believable. My first Sue Henry novel and I believe I'll try some more.

It is a good mystery set in the world of Alaskan pilots. The main character is interesting and well-developed. I felt like I had been to Alaska. ( )

She came up out of sleep the way a powerful swimmer rises out of deep water ... slowly, languidly, sensing the light over darkness, reaching for the surface with no anxiety ... aware of the sensation of smoothness along the strong length of her body ... anticipating the contrast of air on her eyes ... but not yet willing to abandon the pleasant, silent suspension.
