Secret Places: A Southeast Alaska Mystery
When everyone has secrets, no one is safe.
Native Alaskan fisherman, Johnny Ingman, leaves for the grounds—and mysteriously disappears.
It is the mid-1980s. Forces from the outside world increasingly undermine traditional cultures and threaten communities in Southeast Alaska. The salmon troll fishery which is their economic base is increasingly at risk. Wildlife Trooper Kolinsky’s relentless investigation of Johnny’s disappearance highlights these forces and ignites an acrimonious public confrontation at a buying scow near the fishing grounds. But it also provides new insights that finally allow him to identify the killer.
