When the body of a barista is found in the once-pristine Alaskan snow, Anchorage homicide detective DeHavilland Beans is gutted to recognize the young woman, Jolene. He'd bought coffee from her every morning and knew her as a bright college student working her way through school. Devastated by the murder and by the life cut short, Beans vows to find the killer. Since scavengers damaged the body, obtaining any usable evidence is impossible, even with the assistance of wildlife expert Raisa Ingalls, Beans's ex. When the body of another woman is found, a serial killer is suspected, and the FBI joins the hunt. After a third body turns up, Beans is desperate to find the killer—especially when another woman goes missing. With the murderer moving so quickly, Beans and his team are determined to stop the spree and catch the killer before it's too late. Pulse-pounding and vividly depicted, this Alaskan thriller will electrify fans of Lisa Gardner and true-crime junkies fascinated by the Israel Keyes case.

      Hakoda's intriguing mystery takes listeners to wintry Alaska, imparting a local's sense of detail and attachment to place. Her debut sets the tried-and-true police procedural against a vast wilderness where poachers, organized crime, and murderers can operate freely--or almost. Detective DeHavilland Beans considers the 'bikini barista' trend that's spread across Anchorage harmless, as long as young women consent to wear the objectifying costumes. When the corpse of one such coffee seller reveals their vulnerability in the long December nights, however, he devotes his full attention to catching the killer, though it means working with an officer who resents him for being a Buddhist "diversity hire" and tests the pacifism of his faith. A second barista's death intensifies the pressure to close the case and amps up the tension for listeners. Each victim's final, agonizing moments are performed by narrator Abigail Reno in solemn counterpoint to narrator Eric Fox's reflective, bordering-on-brooding detective and motley collection of distinct character voices. VERDICT A taut, well-executed mystery/thriller for fans of Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak or Liam Campbell series.--Lauren Kage
