COLD STORAGE, ALASKA
BY JOHN STRALEY
Soho Crime | Hardcover | 9781616953065
"Wise, wayward, wonderfully unhinged."-James Sallis, Drive
After a seven-year jail stint, Clive "The Milkman" McCahon returns to his withering Alaskan hometown of Cold Storage with a plan to open a bar (slash church) and settle down for good. But trouble is close behind and the sleepy town may not survive his homecoming. A crime novel that privileges the mystery of how isolated communities endure despite their own best efforts over the traditional concerns of a whodunit, Shamus Award winner Straley proves that his fiction is as singular as the Alaskan wilderness his eccentric cast of characters calls home.
