Synopsis: Faith Wright, granddaughter of the founder of Rejoice, a Christian community in the icy interior of Alaska, has disappeared. And now the elders of Rejoice must look beyond their close-knit village for help.
Nik Kane lost his faith long ago—dissolved in a bottle. Once a decorated detective, now an ex-con, he’s desperate for a second chance. Nothing can give him back his career or family, but the search for Faith may restore his soul.
“Kept me up till the wee hours.”—Sue Henry
“An involving and hard-edged tale of life on the northern frontier.”—San Jose Mercury News
“[A] powerful plot told in spare, journalistic prose. [His] double twists . . . pack a powerful wallop.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“[A] brilliant debut . . . pulses with realism . . . Doogan may have created a new subgenre here: postmodern Alaska noir.”—C. J. Box, author of In Plain Sight
“Gripping . . . fascinating . . . top-notch.”—Booklist (starred review)
