Northern Lights

The exotic scenery isn't the only source of drama in Lunacy, Alaska (pop. 506), when newly appointed sheriff Nate Jacobs falls for local bush pilot Meg Galloway. An appealing love story unfolds as the two emotionally wounded characters attempt to work out their individual issues - Nate struggles to adjust to small-town life (think Northern Exposure), while Meg fights the urge to follow her usual pattern of dumping guys after 30 days. Battling their romance for top billing is an engrossing murder mystery - the discovery of Meg's father, found frozen in a cave after his apparent murder 15 years ago. Three friends went up the mountain, and only two came down...and someone doesn't want either Nate or Meg to dig any further. As Nate investigates the history of this community of free spirits, it's a toss-up whether he or Meg will live long enough to put down their own roots.
