Fire and Ice<\/a><\/em> (1998) Dana Stabenow<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Liam Campbell is a state trooper who has been demoted and shipped off to Newenham AK, where he supposes he’ll rebuild his life–but isn’t much looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

As he steps off the plane the first thing he sees is a bloody death, and the second the woman who was the love of his life. <\/p>\n

Then he’s called in to deal with a shooting at the local bar\/restaurant, and the trooper he is replacing leaves without giving Liam as much as a how-dee-do, leaving Liam to struggle his way blindly through figuring out who is who, what is what, and even where his office is.<\/p>\n

This series, like her Kate Shugak series, is set in Alaska, though along the bay instead of in the interior. Liam is a State Trooper with a complex past, and Wy, the woman he loves, isn’t particularly simple either.<\/p>\n

Although I enjoyed the series, I can say it was quite as good as the Kate Shugak series–and I came in on the middle of that series. Nevertheless, it was a very nice escape, and I liked Liam’s complexity. He’s likable despite being quite flawed.
\nRating: 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
