2nd in the Martinez Mysteries series.

Haunted by her last case, Detective Ava Martinez seeks peace in Alaska’s wilderness—only to be pulled into a deadly conspiracy when a strange, rhythmic signal pulses beneath the Arctic ice.

Partnering with ex-soldier Cole Stratton, Ava uncovers a trail of sabotage, espionage, and cover-ups tied to Apexion Oil & Gas and a rogue operative willing to kill to protect their secrets.

As the investigation unfolds across Anchorage, Fairbanks, and the unforgiving Beaufort Sea, Ava discovers the signal is more than an anomaly—it’s the ancient “voice” of the land itself, a cadence powerful enough to be weaponized.

Pursued by enemies and betrayed by allies, she must decide whether to expose the truth or join a covert task force to guard it against global powers eager to exploit its force.

Borealis blends investigative suspense, environmental intrigue, and geopolitical tension in a fast-paced thriller perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, and Dan Brown.

With its cinematic setting, layered cast, and pulse-pounding stakes, this novel asks: what happens when nature itself fights back against human ambition
