Alaska can be a deadly place… Murders happen up here with surprising frequency. The real dangers in the North Country for Alaskan residents are other residents. In Alaska murder seems to be the solution to many problems. A motive for Alaskan murder can be found in all seven deadly sins and several of the base emotions. Winters and isolation increase the number of murders but every season knows the spectre of a killing. The major cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks see the most murders but there isn’t a Native village or an off-the-main-road town that hasn’t experienced the stark reality of a murder. One of the surprising things about murder in Alaska is how creative the killer’s approach to murder can be. Guns, knives and axes are primary tools of the death-makers but some of the weapons of choice in the Northland are poisons, prescription drugs, dangerous machines and bears… yes: BEARS.. But the most surprising thing of all is how many of the murderers are never caught. The stories in this collection are about Alaskans who managed to kill and get away with it. The tales were created from both fact and fiction. Enjoy these chilling tales of unsolved murders in the Great Land.
