Ghost Light
Stan Jones
(Author)Description
With the help of a demented Alaska Native elder, Chukchi police chief Nathan Active hunts for the killer who left a woman's expertly dismembered body in the ice cellar of an abandoned Inupiat Eskimo fish camp. The investigation pulls Active into a dark tangle of love and jealousy, even as he struggles to recover from the PTSD that has haunted him since being wounded in a shootout in an earlier case.
"Ghost Light" is the seventh installment in the critically acclaimed Nathan Active series:
"Painterly descriptions of ALaska's natural beauty and the lives of the native people are fascinating." - USA Today.
" "An enchanting series" - People.
"You can feel the bite of the west wind that comes screaming across the Alaska tundra and sense the isolation of the Inupiat Eskimos who live in this desolate part of the world." - New York Times Review of Books

Reviews
"The most important element, however, is the story itself, and "Ghost Light" delivers. Despite the gore, Jones and Watts have emphasized the investigative side of this story rather than the action, appealing to their readers' intellects. They toss plenty of red herrings at Active, and thus at readers, and keep things going nicely to the conclusion. Revealing more would spoil the fun. Head to Chukchi and find out for yourself. Just be sure to avoid becoming the next murder victim." -- David James, Anchorage Daily News
