While other officers hijack the inquiry and bring in a neat verdict of suicide, Renko piarsues his lonely search and discovers, among other things, why so many crewmen in the fishing fleet have an urgent interest in turning Mm, too, into a corpse. And as the fleet clears the Aleutians and fishes its way north till it is locked in the polar ice and fog, the opportunities
are not lacking.
