Product Description
by Leigh Mayberry (Author)
The Alaska Frontier isn't for everyone. It's isolated and cold. There are thousands of miles of jagged mountain ranges and hundreds of thousands of miles of inhospitable tundra. Most tourists see a fraction of the untamable landscape. It's a place that takes a special kind of person to live there. Meghan Sheppard is that kind of person. At forty-four, divorced, and a former Special Agent for the FBI, Meghan takes a job at the top of the world because her skills fit the rural environment. As Chief of Police for the Kinguyakkii Police Department, Meghan hasn't met everyone in the settlement, but she's getting around to it. A town nestled within a natural harbor at the edge of Chukchi Sea, it's a great place full of exciting people. Meghan wanted a vacation. She had plans; spend a few weeks in the summer sun above the Arctic Circle with her daughter. With twenty-two hours of daylight and warm weather, everything was perfect. Until the day Meghan's daughter arrives. It happens to be the same day Paul Coleman, a successful contractor with big plans for the little city, decided to get himself shot, in the back, three times. Now, Meghan has to juggle a murder investigation that seems like a convoluted assassination, possibly because the victim announced his bid for Mayor of Kinguyakkii. Meghan has a host of raw clues and twisting leads that take her from one end of the city to the other. It turns out, Paul Coleman wasn't a nice guy, and the deeper Meghan digs, he might not even be one of the good guys. This is not the vacation she hoped for.Please Note: 2 Volume of the the Lost in Alaska Mystery Series. Approximately 51,000 words in length.
