Loretta Jackson and Vickie Britton are a sister co-authoring team who have written 36 published novels and 77 short stories. Among their novels are the archaeologist Ardis Cole series and a new series featuring contemporary Wyoming sheriff Jeff McQuede. The two sisters often travel to exotic locations such as Russia, India, China and Peru to research settings for their novels. They are also drawn to the western United States and their love for the unique flavor of the Old West provides a background for many of their novels. Both writers now live in Kansas: Loretta in Junction City, Vickie in Hutchinson.
This is a quick read that takes readers to the beautiful location of Alaska and then takes them on a suspenseful ride of greed and treachery.When Ara Landell goes in search of a father she never even knew she had, she is going to get a lot more than she bargained for, including landing herself in danger as she puts herself in the middle of a mystery that involves greed and underhanded tactics. The authors did a great job making the location feel like a place I'd love to see and the characters, love them or hate them, believable.
A pleasant journey with likable protagonist (& good psychological exposition of her inner thoughts), but an emotionally unsatisfactory ending (too sudden)
