In need of a radical change, she accepts a public defender position in Utqiagvik on Alaska's North Slope, an oil-rich area the size of Wyoming where the Iñupiat community holds great cultural, political, and economic power. Though she'll always be a tanik--an outsider--she works hard to gain the trust and friendship of the folks who call this singular place home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen two well-known sisters, Bernice and Wanda Ipalook, are found murdered, Wright is tasked with representing Amos Lane, a drifter on the short-list of murder suspects. Criminal charges are looming. But this is summer in northern Alaska, the season of the midnight sun, when twenty-four-hour sunlight makes it difficult for witnesses to confirm the time--or even the day--they last saw the sisters, Amos, or anyone else. Wright must navigate an unreliable client, a prosecution willing to entrap her to get a conviction, a budding romance, and a community that believes Amos might deserve a different form of justice from what the tanik legal system can provide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeaving a detailed portrait of Utqiagvik alongside Wright's complex self-portrait of an outsider in an isolated community, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSisters of the Midnight Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a riveting true account that brings to vivid life a land at the edge of the habitable world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dotters Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52788811137317,"sku":"9781640097711","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2167\/5269\/files\/9781640097711.gif?v=1784141405","url":"https:\/\/dottersbooks.com\/products\/sisters-of-the-midnight-sun-a-murder-in-arctic-alaska-by-rebecca-wright-stevens","provider":"Dotters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
