Campbell has been dispatched to Newenham from Anchorage in disgrace. He never expected his new job to be simple, but finding his ex-lover crouched over a headless body on the tarmac is a hell of a way to get off the plane...
Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell, demoted and reassigned to the remote Bush town of Newenham, literally steps off the plane into a murder scene. Dealing with death is never simple, but when the woman leaning over the body proves to be Liam's old flame, it&;s evident that his new job is about to become much more complicated. From Newenham&;s cast of eccentric&;and sometimes hair-trigger&;residents, to the intricate ballet of fishing boats rushing against time to net their limit, Stabenow captures the contagious spirit of melancholy madness that pervades America&;s last frontier.
