There is an officer from Alaska to represent the US interest, Alex Jensen. Henry does a marvelous job of blending the past with the present, intertwining the 1897 story in surprising ways with present day events. Although the final revelation of the murder wasn't a surprise, the book maintained its suspense well, in both the past and present stories while painting the Yukon setting perfectly.
