Blizzards, tundra, Eskimos, bush pilots, and bingo-loving grandmas enliven this literate ethnic mystery starring Alaska State Trooper Nathan Active, who has been assigned to the remote Arctic town of Chukchi. Though born an Inupiat Eskimo, Active was raised in Anchorage by white parents and has little knowledge of his native culture. During the long months he has spent in Chukchi, he has rallied against the icy weather and struggled to understand his two cultural identities, but he realizes how deeply he has been settling into the rhythms of community life when Grace Palmer, a local beauty queen, goes missing. The state trooper mounts a search that ultimately leads him halfway across Alaska--and gives him plenty of time to discover he is in love with Grace. Closing in on the answers, however, he discovers evidence that points to an agonizing situation- she is either dead, or she is a cold-blooded killer.… (mais)

Still like this series, but I could do without the relationship drama. These people need some basic communications skills. ( )

not my favorite in the series...but still good ( )

This book is much more about Trooper Nathan Active than others in the series. Some of his behavior is not admirable when it comes to relationships, although it is understandable. ( )

A mystery that's not totally predictable. ( )

Frozen Sun is the third Nathan Active mystery by Stan Jones. Active is an Alaska State Trooper based in the village of Chukchi. Raised by his adoptive white parents in Anchorage, Active’s birth mother lives in Chukchi, where he has an uneasy relationship with her.

In Frozen Sun, he becomes enamored with a missing half-native woman named Grace Palmer, a high-achieving intelligent beauty in high school who fled Chukchi for the low-life in Anchorage for inexplicable reasons. Active finds her at her father’s request as she is trying to recover her life. She tells active what she was fleeing from, but promptly becomes a double-murder suspect. As always, the story and characters share billing with Alaska and the Inupiat culture itself. The entire package is satisfying. ( )

One day, as our ship rounded the top of the great circle, I noticed a string of strange bare mountains rising out of the sea along the northern horizon. They resembled heaps of smoking slag; the sun, striking their sides, gave them a greenish cast like verdigris on copper. I asked a fellow passenger what they were. "Illusions", I thought he said, but now I realize he said they were the Aleutians. - Corey Ford, Where the Sea Breaks It's Back
