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 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 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.
My Thoughts:
Police Chief Autumn Long lives in a quiet little town in Alaska, where pretty much everyone knows one another. As for the outsiders, it is a good place to hide. This story is one that is full of secrets.
Autumn is fighting to keep her job. She is not only fighting to keep from losing the job she loves due to a disgruntled councilman, but she is also trying to keep her town safe. In recent days there have been way too many strangers passing through, and too many dead bodies showing up.
Grier Brenner is one of those who came to this small Alaskan town to hide. He has his reasons, and he is trying desperately to not fall for the brave yet intriguing police chief. But they have an undeniable connection, so he will protect and help her as much as he can. But she can never know the real reason he is there or who he really is.
Both Autumn and Grier are in danger, and it seems nothing they do is going to see them out of this situation alive. Unless they lay down their guards and trust one another. That is so hard for them to do. This was a very adrenaline rich story with unknown dangers stalking these two and those they cared about around every dark corner. Can these two handle the truths that will be revealed?
