Leo Bronski, an alcoholic Vietnam vet, is on shaky ground with his employer, the U. S. Postal Service in Anchorage. His boss transfers him to a "dry" Western Alaska village to serve as temporary postmaster for a month. After Bronski arrives he is told to find out if the previous postmaster had actually committed suicide—or was murdered. Leo, the outsider, knows nothing of village life or of the dangers he faces. What secrets are being kept from him?
"This is no cozy crime novel. It is masculine and hard edged, with plenty of action and even a bit of sex along with its mystery. The author shows rare skill in balancing the thrilling with sensitive subject matter."—Shana Loshbaugh, Reviewer, Kenai Peninsula Clarion
Ron Hess, the author of two Alaskan thrillers, A Matter of Survival and A Hard Case,
has lived in Alaska over twenty-five years and has been "out there." |
