Jo arrives in Yukon after leaving a big city publication under a cloud of suspicion. Now a local politician, Marlo McAdam, is dead. Everything begins to point to Jo. Her only way to save herself is to prove who the real murderer is. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done and much more dangerous. RCMP sergeant Johnny Cariboo begins to fall her, but she has eyes on Chris Byrne, a handsome card player.

The story has a steady pace, the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. Jo is an investigative journalist which means she will stop at nothing to get to the bottom of a story. Since she was blasted for not informing the public of a police matter in the big city, she is afraid she will fall into the same trap again. She doesn’t know who to trust. She is a flawed character but very believable. If you like books about strong women characters, you will enjoy this book.
