by Leigh Mayberry (Author)
Former FBI Special Agent Meghan Sheppard had a long and distinguished career with the Bureau right up until she got shot in the line of duty. Then Meghan felt it was time to make changes in her life.The Alaska frontier isn't for everyone. It has damp and chilly summer days when the sun doesn't set completely. It has long, cold winter nights when the sun doesn't rise for a few months. Giving up a life in the bustling city on the east coast for a little slice of frozen heaven meant Meghan had to make personal sacrifices. Sometimes it wasn't about following her heart; it was about following the call. Meghan has to make interesting and sometimes difficult decisions in her new role.Living thirty-three miles above the Arctic Circle, Meghan took the mantle as police chief in a bedroom community on the edge of the world. She lived in an area where her neighbors didn't care if the sun rose or set to them; it was just another day.Now Meghan has to travel across the frozen tundra to the sleepy burgh of Noorvik, Alaska. A place where people don't mind missing the basics and have even fewer amenities than she had in Kinguyakkii. Meghan must investigate the death of a village elder. She must find out if the fire that claimed the woman's life was accidental or arson. She's not alone, but Meghan is isolated in the dark of December and won't see the sunrise again for another 40 days. Meghan has a crime to solve, obstacles to overcome, people to chase, and Christmas is coming. The trouble is, murder has a way of killing the Christmas spirit.
