A Simple Case of Murder: A Cozy Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798671406917)

The Alaska frontier isn't for everyone. It's isolated and cold. There are thousands of miles of jagged mountain ranges and hundreds of thousands of miles of inhospitable tundra. Most tourists see a fraction of the untamable landscape. It's a place that takes a special kind of person to live there. Meghan Sheppard is that kind of person. At forty-four, divorced, and a former Special Agent for the FBI, Meghan takes a job at the top of the world because her skills fit the rural environment. As Chief of Police for the Kinguyakkii Police Department, Meghan hasn't met everyone in the settlement, but she's getting around to it.Friends aren't easy to find living on top of the world. People don't see beyond the badge. Meghan isn't antisocial but she never goes out of her way to make acquaintances. When someone close to Meghan falls deathly ill, she realizes that something isn't right in the village. Meghan must find the person responsible before someone else takes the blame for the death of a local doctor.The more layers Meghan uncovers, the deeper the secret, the darker the lies. She's alienating more people and making enemies. Meghan steps on a lot of toes, and in winter boots, nothing is simple. Meghan knows the Alaska State Troopers made a mistake when they arrest the girlfriend of one of Meghan's officers for murder. Unfortunately, no one cares, and Meghan doesn't have a lot of people she can trust to help her discover the truth. What Meghan fears most is that someone is about to get away with murder.
