Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell is on the hunt for a serial killer.
Newly promoted to corporal, Liam Campbell is slowly making a home for himself in Newenham. With just DUIs and domestic disputes to disturb the peace, life is relatively tranquil – until Campbell's girlfriend, Bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard, delivering a shipment of mail to a remote post office, finds the postmistress murdered.

At first it seems a random assault; but then another woman disappears after her husband is killed at their gold mining claim. When Campbell connects the crimes with a twenty-year-old string of missing women, he knows he's facing a serial killer.
