Newenham, Alaska is a bush town with a six-bed jail, a busted ATM and a saloon that does double-duty as a courtroom. It's a wide-enough patch to warrant a state police presence, though, and Trooper Liam Campbell is it, posted there by his superiors to spend some time in the wilderness. Campbell didn't expect the job to be simple, but finding his ex-lover crouched over a headless body on the tarmac is a hell of a way to get off the plane. And it doesn't get any easier. From the (literally) cutthroat business of commercial fishing, to the paranoid misanthropy of the back-country prospector, to drug dealers, serial killers, and caches of forgotten war gold, Campbell will have his hands full. This omnibus edition contains all four of the Liam Campbell novels, Fire and Ice, So Sure of Death, Nothing Gold Can Stay, and Better to Rest, as well as the short stories "On the Evidence" and "Missing, Presumed…" Fans of the modern frontier, of mystery tinged with a frisson of romance, of slow-talking lawmen with good intentions, of tai chi and small aircraft piloting take note: Liam Campbell is for you. A lifelong Alaskan, Dana Stabenow is an the Edgar-award winning writer best known for her Kate Shugak series of mysteries.
