About the book

About A W O L An Alaska Cold Case Mystery

In a remote Alaskan school district, a consultant is reviewing records and discovers that there are no girls in a suspicious pattern over several years. Annie Brewster and her partner Arturo Feliz pursue the consultant's concern, years after it was investigated and dismissed. In short order, one of the missing girls is discovered to be dead, in Fairbanks. Then a police department in Nebraska calls to say that one of the village girls came there reporting that she had been abducted and then disappeared again. It is up to the Alaska Cold Case Unit to determine who is missing, what crimes are related, and who might be responsible. In a conflagration that eventually implicates church personnel, village ne'er do wells, and strange foreign men, the cases converge and Annie must fight her own memories of date rape and helplessness to bring justice to the young girls, women and boys who were abused, trafficked or killed. As usual, Annie's husband Fred and springer spaniel Bones are her biggest support system at home, and she and Arturo travel to yet another part of rural Alaska, out onto the Yukon and Kuskokwim Deltas, to find key evidence, identify perpetrators and "bring home" at least some of the missing. .
