By: Nora Roberts

Seeking to rebuild his life, ex-Baltimore cop Nate Burke takes a job as Chief of Police in the tiny, remote Alaskan town of Lunacy, where he comes face to face with the independent Meg Galloway, an unsolved fifteen-year-old crime, and someone who will do anything to keep the truth from being revealed. Reprint.

Review (Kirkus, 09/01/2004): "Jack London, move over. The Queen of Romance has you in her sights....Original characterization, brisk pace, and a great feel for the grandeur of the setting--not to mention a fabulously tough young heroine who puts her vapid chick-lit sisters to shame--add up to a wonderful read. Romance will never die as long as the megaselling Roberts keeps writing it." (starred review)
Review (Publishers Weekly, 09/06/2004): "[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, welcoming and hostile, indisputably American and yet profoundly exotic to those in the lower 48." (starred review)
Review by Jill M. Smith (Romantic Times BOOKclub, October 2004): "The awe-inspiring Roberts picks the breathtaking and unforgiving backdrop of Alaska for her newest romantic thriller....Meg and Nate are two extremely complex and captivating characters."
