"Blindfold Game", Stabenow's first standalone political thriller, put her on the "New York Times" bestseller list for the first time. As she returns to the series that launched her career, her foray into thriller writing lingers in this tightly drawn, fast-paced, ultimately shocking tale. In "A Deeper Sleep", P.I. Kate Shugak has been working on a case for the Anchorage D.A. involving the murder of a woman by her husband. Louis Deem has been the subject of investigations before, and he's never been convicted. But Kate and state trooper Jim Chopin are convinced that this time he'll be punished for his actions. When he's found not guilty, Kate and Jim and the rest of Nilniltna, Alaska, are certain that a man has gotten away with murder and that it's only a matter lof time before he tries again. Sure enough, a few weeks later a woman and her son are shot, the victims of an apparent robbery. But this time, Kate and Jim have a witness, and they're not going to let Deem get away again. Or will he?
