Описание: In the Alaska Territory, suffragette Charlotte Brody is a newspaper reporter in the frontier town of Cordova. She's a woman ahead of her time living on the rugged edge of civilization--but right now the most dangerous element she faces may come from sunny California . . .

An expedition has arrived in the frigid wilderness to shoot North to Fortune--an epic motion picture featuring authentic footage of majestic peaks, vast glaciers, homesteaders, and Alaska Natives. But the film's fortunes begin to go south as a local Native group grows angry at how they're portrayed in the movie, fights break out, and cast and crew are beset by accidents and assaults. Finally, production is halted when the inebriated director falls into a crevasse--and dies of exposure.

Soon Michael Brody--the town coroner and Charlotte's brother--starts to suspect that Mother Nature was not responsible for Stanley Welsh's death. Charlotte, who's been writing about all the Hollywood glamor, is suddenly covering a cold-blooded crime story--and as springtime storms keep the suspects snowed in, she has to make sure the truth doesn't get buried . . .

Описание: There's many who feel the Alaska Territory is no place for a woman on her own. But Charlotte Brody, suffragette and journalist, has never let public opinion dictate her life choices. She's come to the frontier town of Cordova, where her brother Michael practices medicine, for the same reason many come to Alaska--to start over.

Cordova is gradually getting civilized, but the town is still rougher than Charlotte imagined. And when a local prostitute--one of the working girls her brother has been treating--is found brutally murdered, Charlotte learns firsthand how rough the frontier can be. Although the town may not consider the murder of a prostitute worthy of investigation, Charlotte's feminist beliefs motivate her to seek justice for the woman. And there's something else--the woman was hiding a secret, one that reminds Charlotte of her own painful past.

As Charlotte searches for answers, she soon finds her own life in danger from a cold-blooded killer desperate to keep dark secrets from seeing the light of day...
