The follow-up to the first book 'Come Find Me in the Midnight Sun', set in the wilds of Alaska, this book sees a resolution to the cases from that first book of the men who have gone missing throughout the area. Officer Louisa Linebach, in a joint operation with the Feds, fakes her move back from Seward to Anchorage but really she is hiding out at a remote hunting lodge in Kenai Fjords National Park, keeping an eye on the possible drug-smuggling operation run by Mr Drew. Joined by dog Tails, & the prickly park ranger, Dolly Agapov, can Louisa get enough information on Drew to shut him down for good?

Again, this is a fairly slow-paced book until the last third, but the characters are the most important aspect of this series. Louisa's on/off relationship with medical examiner Anna Fenway is part of the story, but the most interesting character was Dolly - a member of one of the indigenous peoples of the area. Dolly's previous experience with the police force is not the best as when her granddaughter went missing several years before, it was perfunctorily investigated before being filed as a runaway teen. Louisa & Dolly's journey to actually learning to trust one another is a big part of the story. I did think, however, that the actual resolution of the case was a bit of an anti-climax in many respects. 'Baddie' Mr Drew barely featured in the story until the last third & it was all over very quickly. A minor quibble though overall.

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Bold Strokes Books Inc, for the opportunity to read an ARC.  I am voluntarily giving an honest review.
