Alaskan native Robbie Daniels signs on with crotchety fisherman Tor Torsen for the salmon season, not realizing the old man also wants his help hunting for items buried by eighteenth-century Russian explorers and now worth a fortune. Robbie, who can't quite trust his employer's intentions, is a sympathetic narrator in this often exciting and colorfully detailed novel.
