While deckhanding on board a salmon tender, Kate Shugak hauls up the body of a widely disliked fisherman whose apparent murder is greeted with great rejoicing. Drafted by State Trooper Jim Chopin to assist in the investigation, Kate draws up a long list of suspects. Meanwhile, Kate's Aleut aunties are mixed up in some shady dealings of their own, which Kate must prove do not include murder.
