Multiple award-winning author Sue Henry takes us into the heart of
America's last frontier with a gripping tale of suspense set in a rugged
land that appeals to the adventurous and strong ... and to those who are
drawn to darkness.
Famed Alaskan "musher" Jessie Arnold thinks she's finally put her dark
past behind her. But the excavations on her new cabin unearth a
decades-old skeleton entombed in a crumbling basement wall -- along with
a butterfly pendant necklace worn by the alleged victim of a brutal
serial slayer who preyed on area women twenty years earlier.
Pulled once more into a murder investigation against her will, Jessie
fears a grim, half-forgotten nightmare has been reborn. For, in this
stark and lonely place, in the first days of the all-too-brief Alaskan
summer, another woman has disappeared without a trace. The signs suggest
the unthinkable: an insatiable human monster has returned. And the clues
she's uncovering hint that Jessie Arnold may well be his next victim.
