Publisher's summary

Let #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts fly you into Lunacy, Alaska, and into a colorful, compelling novel about two lonely souls who are searching for love and redemption...

As a Baltimore cop, Nate Burke watched his partner die on the street - and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he accepted the job as Chief of Police in a tiny, remote Alaskan town with the hopes of starting over. Despite the name, Lunacy provides a balm for Nate’s shattered soul - and an unexpected affair with pilot Meg Galloway warms his nights....

But other things in Lunacy are heating up. Nate suspects the killer in an unsolved murder still walks the snowy streets. His investigation will unearth the secrets and suspicions that lurk beneath the placid surface, as well as bring out the big-city survival instincts that made him a cop in the first place. And his discovery will threaten the new life - and the new love - that he has finally found for himself.

Critic reviews

"[A] richly textured novel that captures the intimacy of smalltown police work, the prickliness of the pioneer spirit and the paradox of a setting at once intimate and expansive." (Publishers Weekly)

"Roberts's latest hit novel could not be performed better." (AudioFile)

My Favorite Book by Nora Roberts

I love how Nate is so straightforward and honest not only with others but, more than anything, with himself. I also love his dialogs and relationship with Megan. All other characters are very entertaining and interesting. But the way that N.R. manages to describe the sights and feels of Alaska is absolutely amazing. I dream of visiting it.

Excellent performance

The narrator was really amazing. I loved the performance. He did a great job separating the characters and his voice was pleasant.
Amazingly, this was my first Nora Roberts. I avoided them because I like mysteries, not so much romance. But kudos. It was a pretty good mystery, despite the romantic drama.

An great read and now an enduring favorite

I have listened to this story at least twice a year for a while now. It’s a great story, against a stunning and unique backdrop. Funny and twisty enough to keep my attention. The characters are memorable and strong. The narrator does a great job.
