Bad Blood
Shadows of the Past in Alaska
Thirty-one years ago, Victoria Pilz Bannister Muravieff of Anchorage, Alaska, was convicted of murdering her seventeen-year-old son, William. No one doubted that she had set her own house on fire. That's why she is now serving a life sentence in a state prison. But her daughter, Charlotte, doesn't believe the official story. When she learns that her mother is in the final stages of cancer, she hires private investigator Kate Shugak to clear Victoria's name and secure her freedom.
However, the accused refuses to cooperate, and it soon comes to light that she isn't the only one who wants to leave the past on ice. The deeper Kate delves into the case, the more she is terrified by a history full of secrets, grief, and murder, in which one of Alaska's most powerful families is also entangled…
Dana Stabenow
Dana Stabenow was born in 1952 in Anchorage, Alaska, and grew up on a fishing boat where, between bouts of seasickness, she wrote stories about 'normal' children growing up on land and forced her mother to read them. She studied journalism at the University of Alaska and then set off on a four-month backpacking trip around Europe. Upon her return, she worked for Alyeska Pipeline and British Petroleum. In her early thirties, she decided she didn't want to spend her life at the beck and call of oil tycoons and would rather become a poor writer. She promised herself she would publish her first book before she was completely broke, and she just barely managed it. In 1991, her debut novel, Second Star, was published, followed a year later by the first instalment in the popular Kate Shugak series, A Cold Day for Murder, which won an Edgar Award in 1993.
