Paul Kitka hasn't returned to Sitka, Alaska in 18 years -- not since a cop shot and killed his father. Now he's a cop himself, a lieutenant in the Alaska State Troopers. When his brother is arrested for the murder of the cop who killed their father, Paul heads back to Sitka. It’s time to unravel the secrets that have haunted him and his family for decades.
Candace Marshal has just gotten her pilot's license, and she's happy to fly him there on her maiden voyage. Sitka, she hears, is a beautiful city. What could go wrong?
This is the second book in the Talkeetna mystery series.
L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys.
L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for any oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead — a field that liked people who asked questions!
As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and Washington, D. C. — places that have become the sites for her books. She got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism.
She is an over-educated, bleeding-heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency. Some of her thrillers have werewolves in them — that doesn’t faze her either.
