Broken Angels by Russell Heath

Broken Angels is a fast-paced Alaskan noir filled with richly drawn characters struggling to survive in a hostile country where there are no second chances.

Kris Gabriel, Alaska Native, and fierce like a wolverine, returns to Alaska—to find her mother murdered; shot in the face by the double-barreled blast of a shotgun. Angry her mother is pushed around even in death, guilty she abandoned her in life, Kris only knows to fight. Relentlessly, she tracks a trail of pain, of lost love, of lives ripped apart by the frozen north’s unyielding law of survival, never suspecting that she has far more at stake than finding her mother’s killer.

“Gripping from the get-go, populated by a gallery of indelible characters and set against a landscape that’s both breathtakingly beautiful and punishing” (Kirkus Reviews).

Finalist for best mystery in Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2016.
