As a Jesuit priest. Father Mark Townsend has spent much time among the native peoples who inhabit the merciless Alaskan tundra. He recognizes the deadly artifact--and knows the Eskimo tribe that carved the intricate pictures on its ivory handle.

The Story Knife is the first book in a set of four mysteries featuring Fr. Mark Townsend. Fr. Mark is a Jesuit priest assigned to St. Joseph parish in Seattle, Washington, and his Jesuit education comes in handy when it comes to solving mysteries. This first book has a hard time deciding whether it wants to be a mystery novel or a guidebook to Alaska, but it's a quick and entertaining read. ( )
