A year after arriving in Benedict, Beth Rivers is feeling very at home in Alaska, even as outsiders are starting to return to enjoy the brief summer perfection. She feels like she's finally let go of most of her demons. She's even found her father, Eddy Rivers—or, rather, he found her—and she's trying to find the middle ground between anger and forgiveness. One sunny July day, Beth boards a tourist ship to see the glaciers, the main reason visitors venture to the area. But when the captain has to navigate to an island, a bloodied woman is found standing on the shore, waving for help. When she's brought aboard, she claims she was kidnapped from her home in Juneau three days earlier and that a bear on the island killed her captor. She, however, is unharmed. The woman, Sadie, finds a sympathetic ear in Beth. She tells her that she's been in Juneau under witness protection and that the Juneau police don't like her. When another kidnapping occurs, Beth and Police Chief Gril can't help but think the two cases are interwoven, though the clues to solving them may be hard to unravel.

      Shelton’s enticing fifth Alaska Wild mystery (after 2022’s Winter’s End) begins with thriller writer Beth Rivers embarking on a day trip to see the coastal glaciers near her home in Benedict, Alaska. As the tour boat approaches Lilybrook Island, Beth spots a bloodied woman standing on the shore. The woman—Sadie—claims to have been kidnapped and held prisoner, and to have escaped when her captor was killed by a bear. Beth befriends Sadie, who soon confesses that she came to Alaska as part of the witness protection program, though she won’t share why. A second kidnapping in the area leads Beth to believe that the two cases are connected, and she begins investigating alongside local police chief Gril Samuels. As the investigation unfolds, Shelton deepens Beth’s relationships to her boyfriend, Tex, and her estranged father, Eddy. While readers may wish Beth reached a few obvious conclusions more quickly, Shelton wraps up the central mystery with a satisfying and surprising conclusion. Series fans will find much to enjoy.
