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? 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. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
