In a breathtaking land of ice and cold, death has come...by fire.In the lingering chill of the early Alaskan spring, famed "musher" Jessie Arnold confronts the charred remains of a favorite local pub, destroyed by a suspicious blaze that claimed an innocent, unsuspecting life. This lull between racing seasons is meant to be a time of grueling training and conditioning for Jessie and her dogsled team-but instead it has become a time of fear. Because the burning has only begun, and its flames show more will scar and blister Jessie's world in ways she can barely imagine. And in the wake of more death, her next race will be one for survival -- as she struggles to determine whether a desperate friend is a terrified victim...or a killer. show lessTags

Great adventure. Jessie and her dog team get involved in an arson mystery. Sue Henry knows how to write a sociopath. The characters stood out vividly. The husband, the wife, the arson investigator--all jumped to the fore. I'm hooked on Alaskan Sue Henry and her Jessie Arnold series.
Couldn't seem to get interested. read a few pages skimmed thru the bk. Just couldn't bring myself to read it.
