Beschreibung des Verlags
Police Chief Autumn Long is fighting to keep her job in the quiet Alaska town of Shadow Gap when an unexpected string of criminal activity leaves her with a wounded officer, unexplained murders, and even an attack on her own father. Despite her mistrust of outsiders, she turns to Grier Brenner, a newcomer who seems to have the skills and training Autumn needs to face this threat to her community.
Grier is in Alaska for the same reason so many others are--to disappear--when Chief Long enlists his help. He emerges from the shadows and proves his mettle, but his presence in her life could be a deadly trap for them both. If his secret is exposed, all will be lost. And he's not sure even Autumn could save him.
As the stakes rise and the dangers increase, Autumn and Grier must rely on each other to extinguish the deadly threats.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this first installment of the Missing in Alaska series, Goddard (Perilous Security Detail) weaves a gripping mystery set in southeast Alaska. Autumn Long, police chief of Shadow Gap, is dealing with a crime wave—murders, a missing woman—that's undermining public confidence in her leadership and imperiling her job. Soon she meets town newcomer Grier Brennan, who is evasive about his background, and while this isn't unusual ("People often came to Alaska to start fresh or disappear," she acknowledges), Autumn wonders if he's hiding something. Grier has his own reasons for keeping under the radar but can't avoid getting tangled up in the town's goings-on, as he crosses paths with Autumn and an attraction builds that feels almost fated by God. As the body count rises, Autumn and Grier join to track down the killer, who may have a link to their own pasts. The Alaskan wilderness is a character all its own, and Goddard expertly ratchets up suspense as Autumn and Grier look for the killer. Readers will be eager for the next in the series.
