Summer in Alaska is synonymous with salmon. And Kate Shugak is up to her ears in chinooks and chicanery as she takes on commercial fishing. While deckhandling on the Freya, she hauls in salmon, halibut—and the dead body of the most disliked fisherman around. In fact, his death sends the town into tears—of joy. The list of suspects is a mile long. And Kate's search for the killer isn't making her too popular in town—especially since the dead man is already being hailed as the catch of the day
