Publisher's Synopsis
Meghan Sheppard wanted a simpler life, a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday trouble, find a place where she could take a breath, enjoy the serene magnitude of the last frontier, and perhaps see the northern lights. When Meghan quit the FBI, she took a job as the chief of police in a small town 33 miles above the Arctic Circle. Murder, mayhem, and chasing bad guys were all behind her. Living in an isolated northern village in rural Alaska is everything Meghan wanted and being the chief of police means she could use the skills she earned as a Special Agent for the FBI and not have to worry about tracking serial killers, or cybercriminals, or terrorists, Meghan wanted the solitude of the wilderness and live in a little slice of the Alaskan Frontier that wasn't corrupted by the grind of the lower forty-eight states. While being a cop in rural Alaska wasn't supposed to be a vacation, Meghan thought she'd put all the troubles behind her, including a troubled marriage.To the people of the north, the villagers in the City of Northern Lights, Meghan is still an outsider. Longevity has nothing to do with being an outsider in the bedroom community thirty-three miles above the Arctic Circle. Sometimes just carrying a badge changes how people look at her.Now Meghan faces the biggest challenge of her career as the Police Chief in the bedroom village in the far north. A child is missing. Meghan's longtime colleague-and part-time friend-from the FBI thinks she knows how to take care of business better than Meghan. With her back against the wall, and they are running out of time, Meghan must take a step backward to move ahead. It tests her strengths as a cop and exposes her weaknesses. Meghan knows it isn't about her; it's about finding a lost little girl in one of the most inhospitable places on earth. Please Note: Sixth Volume of the Lost in Alaska Mystery Series.
