"...Baird's high-octane sequel to 2016's Yukon Audit..." -- Publishers Weekly.
"... a fantastic sequel...another tight plot with plenty of action and adventure, right from the word go." -- Readers' Favorite
Meet C.E. Brody, a Yukon renaissance man who leads a solitary life on the edge of civilization. Living without cell phones or internet is just fine with him--with a cabin on the river, a vehicle repair shop, an old pickup truck and plane, and two dogs to keep him company--he has everything he needs. Or does he?
It's been a year since Brody was lucky to escape with his life after a harrowing chase down the Yukon River. A mobster named Kay had been intent on killing him, but after the two men entered a white water maelstrom, only Brody got through. Kay's body was never found and as far as Brody's concerned, the man drowned. But with two recent murders pointing to Kay, the RCMP aren't so sure about that.
After a suspicious fire close to home, Brody's plane is vandalized, his dogs go missing, and a woman is murdered at his cabin. When he takes a contract to fly rock samples out of a remote mine site, the FBI turns up. They say the mine is a stock market scam and want Brody to fly in one of their undercover agents to investigate. But when that undercover agent turns out to be a former girlfriend--whom he barely recognizes--and with Kay still on the loose...
Now charged, tried and convicted by a pesky reporter for three murders and an assault he didn't commit, and with the RCMP more hindrance than help, and with the FBI not concerned about finding Kay, Brody knows only he can unravel the mess he's in. And that will take a lot of luck.
