A Deeper Sleep

"A cleverly conceived and crisply written thriller" in the Edgar Award–winning Kate Shugak series from the New York Times–bestselling author (The San Diego Union Tribune). Kate, a private investigator, has been working on a case for the Anchorage District Attorney involving the murder of a young woman by her husband, a man named Louis Deem. Deem has been the subject of investigations before, and he's never been convicted of a crime. But Kate and her on-again, off-again lover, state trooper Jim Chopin, who arrested Deem, are convinced that this time it's different, and he'll finally be punished for his actions. When the jury returns a verdict of not guilty, Kate and Jim are devastated, and like the rest of the citizens of Niniltna, Alaska, certain that a man has gotten away with murder. They can't help but think that it's only a matter of time before he's in the frame for another killing. Sure enough, a few weeks later a shooting leaves two dead in an apparent robbery. But this time Kate and Jim have a witness, and they're not going to let Louis Deem get away again. Or will he? Dana Stabenow, Edgar Award–winning author and New York Times–bestselling thriller writer, delivers a gripping page-turner about one town's search for justice—at any cost. "A splendid series." —USA Today "All the elements that have made this series successful shine." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An engaging plot . . . a vivid depiction of the Alaskan wilderness." —Booklist
