Edge of Redfish Lake

A Killer Lurks in the salmon fisheries of Alaska

Alaska’s salmon fisheries have long been the origin of adventure, intrigue, hard-earned money, danger, mystery, and tragedy. In 1988, as journalist Julian Hopkins tried to make sense of his best friend’s drowning, he discovered the fatally-beautiful Bristol Bay was also the lair of a killer… an angered one who at season’s end would follow him home and drag him into the heart of Seattle’s most notorious unsolved serial murder case.

In his debut novel, Conrad Jungmann Jr. takes us on a suspenseful crime-legal drama, from rough-and-rugged Alaska to the edge of loyalty, loss, love, jealousy, justice, and vengeance. Full of hidden undertones and powerful epiphanies, EDGE OF REDFISH LAKE is the author’s ode to the Alaska commercial fisheries, old-school journalism, the Green River Killer investigation, DNA forensic science, and plight of Pacific salmon.

Available in Large and Small Paperback, Hardcover, eBook, and author-narrated AudioBook.
