Bloomsbury presents A Taint in the Blood by Dana Stabenow, read by Marguerite Gavin.

A darkly compelling view of life in the Alaskan bush, well laced with lots of gallows humor. Her characters are very believable, the story lines are always suspenseful, and every now and then she lets a truly vile villain be eaten by a grizzley. Who could ask for more?
