Winter on the Hook Fleet
A Western Mystery

About this book:

When Deputy Marshal Caleb Vance ships out on the *Kodiak Queen*, he expects nothing worse than a boring three-day run and a late Thanksgiving. But the Bering Sea has other plans. A sudden Arctic front locks the hook fleet in a gray iron sheet of pack ice, stranding four vessels—and twenty-five desperate men—miles from civilization with nowhere to run.

Then a body turns up in the fish hold of the *Bering Star*: Skipper Pete Larsen, his skull caved in, dragged behind ice-packed crates to buy the killer time. Two crewmen have vanished into the blizzard. With the temperature dropping and paranoia rising, Caleb’s badge and Colt are the only law on a floating crime scene where every fisherman has a secret, every alibi is shaky, and no one can escape until the thaw.

In a world where greed runs as deep as the ice is thick, the marshal must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again—or before the frozen sea claims them all. *Winter on the Hook Fleet* is a chilling frontier mystery where the coldest danger isn’t the weather, but the man standing next to you.
