I'm delighted to announce that my friend Julie Flander's debut novel Polar Night is coming out on February 7. Once you read Julie's synopsis, you'll see why this is a captivating suspense thriller.
Book Blurb: When Detective Danny Fitzpatrick leaves his hometown of Chicago and moves to Fairbanks, Alaska he wants nothing more than to escape the violence and heartbreak that left his life in pieces. Numbed by alcohol and the frozen temperatures of an Alaskan winter, Danny is content with a dead-end job investigating Fairbanks' cold cases. That all changes when a pretty blond woman goes missing on the winter solstice, and Danny stumbles upon some surprising connections between her disappearance and that of another Fairbanks woman three years earlier. Forced out of his lethargy, Danny sets out to both find the missing woman and solve his own cold case.
The investigation
points Danny towards Aleksei Nechayev, the handsome and charming proprietor of
an old asylum turned haunted tourist attraction in the Arctic town of Coldfoot.
As he tries to find a link between Nechayev and his case, Danny's instinct
tells him that Nechayev is much more than what he seems.
Danny has no idea
that Nechayev is hiding a secret that is much more horrifying than anything he
could ever have imagined. As his obsession with finding the missing women
grows, Danny finds his own life in danger. And when the truth is finally
revealed, the world as he knows it will never be the same.
Bio: Julie Flanders is a librarian and a freelance writer who has written for both online and print publications. She is an avid animal lover and shares her home in Cincinnati, Ohio with her dog and cat. Polar Night, a suspense thriller with a supernatural twist, is her first novel. It will be published by Ink Smith Publishing on February 7, 2013. Find Julie online at her blog, on Twitter, and on Facebook.
I met Julie shortly after we both started blogging during the 2011 A to Z Challenge, and she's been a supportive blogging friend ever since. She puts her all into everything she does, and I know that Polar Night will reflect this. To get the full experience, snuggle up with a blanket, and a cup of hot cocoa, as you disappear into Polar Night.
Julie took over the blogging world this week!
