| In this "moving...unpredictable and absorbing debut" "(Publishers Weekly)," Garth Stein brilliantly invokes his Native American heritage and its folklore to create an electrifying supernatural thriller. When Jenna Rosen abandons her comfortable Seattle life to revisit Wrangell, Alaska, it's a wrenching return to her past.

Warned by a practicing shaman against disturbing the legendary "kushtaka" -- soul-stealing predators that stalk the netherworld between land and sea, the living and the dead -- Jenna turns to Eddie, a local fisherman, to help her separate fact from myth. But she can't deny her protective motherly instincts, and Jenna's quest for the truth about her son -- and the strength of her beliefs -- is about to pull her into a terrifying, life-changing abyss.... |
