Fire and Ice by Dana Stabenow

Fire and Ice (Liam Campbell Mystery, #1) (Liam Campbell Mysteries (eBook)) (Liam Campbell, #1)

by Dana Stabenow

Newenham is the end of the line for Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell. On the shores of the Bering Sea, it the last police outpost in the United States before you hit Siberia, it is also Campbell's last shot at getting his life back on track.

And he's about to come in for a very rough landing.

Newenham is an ice-bound fishing town with a six-bed jail, a busted ATM and a saloon that does double-duty as a courtroom. It's a wide-enough patch to warrant a state police presence, though, and Trooper Liam Campbell is it.

Campbell has been dispatched to Newenham from Anchorage in disgrace, busted down from sergeant to trooper in the aftermath of a mistake that cost a family of five their lives.

Campbell 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...

Fans of the icy frontier, of mystery tinged with a frisson of romance, of laconic lawmen with good intentions, of tai chi and small aircraft piloting take note: Dana Stabenow's Liam Campbell series is for you.
