The third entry to the Nathan Active series.

Blizzards, tundra, Eskimos, bush pilots, and bingo-loving grandmas enliven this literate ethnic mystery starring Alaska State Trooper Nathan Active, who has been assigned to the remote Arctic town of Chukchi. Though born an Inupiat Eskimo, Active was raised in Anchorage by white parents and has little knowledge of his native culture. During the long months he has spent in Chukchi, he has rallied against the icy weather and struggled to understand his two cultural identities, but he realizes how deeply he has been settling into the rhythms of community life when Grace Palmer, a local beauty queen, goes missing. The state trooper mounts a search that ultimately leads him halfway across Alaska--and gives him plenty of time to discover he is in love with Grace. Closing in on the answers, however, he discovers evidence that points to an agonizing situation: she is either dead, or she is a cold-blooded killer.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Frozen Sun

"No one shows you the ugly side of Alaska the way Stan Jones does."
--The New York Times Book Review

"What Jones truly excels at is evoking Alaska. Whether it be the brief, fragile arctic spring, the hazardous world of the dead enders on the streets of Anchorage, or the relentless rain of Dutch Harbor, readers will get a strong sense of what Alaska feels like . . . Jones has an easygoing writing style that flows well, an ability to create believable, multi-layered characters, and plenty of good plot ideas."
--Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

"That rare thing, a deftly plotted mystery that's also an irresistible love story. With it, Jones's Alaska series takes a quantum leap forward."
--Kirkus Reviews

"Does not disappoint . . . Readers of Dana Stabenow and Mike Doogan will appreciate Jones's take on Alaskan justice."
--Library Journal

"A subtle, vivid, and effective crime novel that deserves a wide readership."
--International Noir Fiction
