The investigation pulls Active into a dark tangle of love and jealousy, even as he struggles to recover from the PTSD that has haunted him since being wounded in a shootout in an earlier case.The case starts when Tommie Leokuk's husband brings her to Active's office to show him what she found in her latest midnight ramble around the Arctic hamlet of Chukchi. From the pouch of her traditional atiqluk, she pulls a human jawbone with a single molar still in place.Tommie's dementia means she can't explain where she found it. As her husband explains, "She lost her brain few years ago."At first, Chief Active doesn't know whether she's found a murder victim or an old grave opened by erosion or scavengers.He soon discovers it's very much a murder case, one of the most tangled he's seen. The victim had two lovers, one male, one female. Both become suspects as the investigation proceeds.At the same time, Active grapples with PTSD from being shot in a prior case. When he starts to wonder how his gun would taste, he realizes it's time to see Chukchi's tribal healer, Nelda Qivits, who believes anything can be cured by a cup of bitter sourdock tea in her little cabin on a back street of Chukchi.______________________Ghost Light is the seventh installment in the critically acclaimed Nathan Active series: "Painterly descriptions of Alaska's natural beauty and the lives of the native people are fascinating." - USA Today"An enchanting series" - People"You can feel the bite of the west wind that comes screaming across the Alaska tundra and sense the isolation of the Inupiat Eskimos who live in this desolate part of the world." - New York Times Review of Books

Love or Die delivers a critical look at two false beliefs that contribute to so much of the suffering and violence in the world today: the beliefs that 1) we are separate, and 2) we are incomplete. Once the reader understands that every action he takes affects the Whole - since we are all connected as part of that Whole - he will realize that extinction awaits us if we continue to be self-indulgent at the expense of others or the environment. To destroy any part of nature is to destroy a part of ourselves We must awaken from our self-destructive ego consciousness, move into higher levels of awareness, and begin functioning with cooperation rather than competition. Failing this, our quality of life will rapidly deteriorate, and humans will go the way of the dinosaurs. We must learn how to love, or we will perish.
