In 1923, John Ivanoff and his daughter, Cassidy, both work at the Tony Curry Hotel at the base of Alaska's Mt. McKinley, or Denali, as the mountain is called by the indigenous people. He's a wilderness adventure guide, and she toils as a cook's assistant. Allan Brennan arrives, under the guise of hiking Mt. McKinley; however, he is really seeking the man who murdered his father. He suspects that it was Ivanoff who had led Henry Brennan and his business partner Frank on the fatal hike up the treacherous peak. Through the years, Frank did nothing to dissuade Allan of that notion. Now he must put his trust in God and decide what to do about Ivanoff as they, too, ascend the mountain.
VERDICT Coauthors Peterson and Woodhouse (Beyond the Silence; All Things Hidden) begin a new series drawing on Alaska's rich history, featuring the authentic, lushly detailed setting and fleshed-out characterizations that fans of this duo have come to expect. Readers who enjoy Dani Pettrey will delight in immersing themselves in the Last Frontier.
