Lost to the Sea: A Cozy Mystery - Paperback

by Leigh Mayberry (Author)

The Alaskan Frontier isn't for everyone. It's isolated and cold. There are thousands of miles of jagged mountain ranges and hundreds of thousands of miles of inhospitable tundra. It's a place that takes a special kind of person to live there. Meghan Sheppard is that kind of person. At forty-four, divorced, and a former Special Agent for the FBI, Meghan takes a job at the top of the world because her skills fit the rural environment.The night Meghan Sheppard receives a ship to shore call regarding a derelict pleasure cruiser, it turns into a profound near-death experience. As Police Chief for Kinguyakkii, she's responsible for the town and the outlying areas. That includes the vast Kinguyakkii Bay and the Chukchi Sea. Meghan never experienced the open wild waters of the Alaska shoreline. Now it could be her last voyage. Everyone wants to claim the boat because it's considered an abandoned vessel. Meghan seems to be the one person who wants to know what happened to its captain. Now, Meghan is out on a preverbal limb. She will have to travel to Nome and Anchorage to solve the mystery. Meghan is having the worst week of her life. Now, it's a race to find the missing captain, save the pirate, and figure out what happened aboard the Seagrass. Meghan is at the end of her rope, and no one wants to consider she's uncovered something that isn't what everyone else believes. Meghan has to trust her officers and put her faith in her intuition. It's October in Alaska and it's cold and miserable. Megan has a case, and she's sinking fast. While it could be the end for Meghan Sheppard, she's not willing to go quietly.
