Caribou Crossing

by Kim Heacox

Published 16 August 2001
In Kim Heacox's suspenseful debut novel, Shannon DeShay, a young woman from Alaska discovers a militant plot to destroy an environmental movement and must risk everything to save a wildlife refuge and the man she loves. At the nexus is a real issue: attempts by the petroleum industry—and most of Alaska’s political and business leaders—to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. From Anchorage and Alaska’s North Slope to Washington D.C. and the halls of Congress, this is a compelling story of intrigue, landscape, and love.
