Hunter's Moon — Dana Stabenow

Once, Kate Shugak was the star investigator of the Anchorage D.A.'s office. Now she's gone back to her Aleut roots in the far Alaska north--where her talent for detection makes her the toughest crime-tracker in that stark and mysterious land...

To Kate's dismay, these overeager hunters want to kill not for food or sport, but simply for the sake of killing. And no sooner does the hunting begin than one of the Germans is shot and killed, seemingly by accident. One accident leads to another, and as the bodies start piling up, Kate realizes that someone in the party isn't satisfied with hunting wildlife--and unless she can track down the killer, it's open season for murder...
