eng	Not Too Cold for Murder: Alaska in Dana Stabenow´s Crime Fiction	Crime fiction ranks among the most widely read genres of popular literature. Deservedly, it has lately received an increasing theoretical and critical attention. In recent decades, we also witness a growing critical focus on space, literary geography and poetics of place, i.e. in the way literary works depict places, landscapes, specific rural and urban environments. The paper focuses on the Kate Shugak series by Dana Stabenow, a series of crime novels set in Alaska, and analyzes how the series represents specifics of Alaskan places and peoples inhabiting them, and therefore how it constructs its literary landscape.	popular genres; crime fiction; literary landscape; Alaska; Dana Stabenow; Kate Shugak series
