Downed in Chena

An evening out turns into a mystery as police detective Randy McCloughlin launches an investigation into a death in Fairbanks, Alaska. Randy's search for answers takes him into the goldfields of Central Alaska, where he encounters mistrust and illegal practices of the past that still live on among the miners. This is the second book in the Randy McCloughlin series of mysteries set in Alaska. These books introduce readers to the Alaska that the author grew up with in the 1970s and '80s, when the state changed from a frontier state to leading oil producer. Crime follows prosperity, and the boom and bust economy of Alaska has made the state a veteran of both fare and foul winds.
