Beneath the Ashes - Henry Sue

In the lingering chill of the early Alaskan spring, famed 'musher' Jessie Arnold confronts the charred remains of a favorite local pub, destroyed by a suspicious blaze that claimed an innocent, unsuspecting life. This lull between racing seasons is meant to be a time of grueling training and conditioning for Jessie and her dogsled team—but instead it has become a time of fear. Because the burning has only begun, and its flames will scar and blister Jessie's world in ways she can barely imagine. And in the wake of more death, her next race will be one for survival—as she struggles to determine whether a desperate friend is a terrified victim... or a killer.
