Publisher's Synopsis
1867. The USA has just purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire, and sent Colonel Jefferson Davis and part of the 9th Infantry to take possession of the last frontier. But the soldiers have barely landed on Baranof Island before two officers are brutally slain in Sitka's cathedral. Army scout Jake Pierce is tasked with tracking the two assassins into mainland Alaska. With the reason for the killings unclear, this proves to be only the start of something very nasty indeed...
