Alaska aviation entrepreneur Finn Grant died in a fiery plane crash. Someone sabotaged his engine, and virtually everyone in southwestern Alaska has a motive. Among the suspects are a betrayed wife, his bullied children, and State Trooper Liam Campbell's wife, bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard. With his wife under a judicial microscope, Liam asks his former mentor, Sergeant Jim Chopin, for help, and Jim quickly brings P. I. Kate Shugak onto the case.
Working undercover as a waitress at Bill's Bar and Grill, Kate learns that Grant's business had expanded meteorically over the last two years. After buying a closed Air Force base from the government at a bargain-basement price, he became a fixed-base operator running his fishing and hunting business. But his most recent -- and lucrative -- venture was the airfreight business. What kind of freight was he moving -- and where?
The answers involve Kate in her most challenging case to date, one that starts with murder and quickly sprawls into a much larger conspiracy ranging from dark family secrets to treason and beyond. Restless in the Grave is a treat for fans and another outstanding addition to Dana Stabenow's award-winning series.
