Fire and Ice

[b:Fire And Ice 672619 Fire And Ice (Liam Campbell, #1) Dana Stabenow https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1351459395s/672619.jpg 14413090] is a pretty good crime thriller. State trooper Liam Campbell steps off the plane at his new station in Newenham, Alaska and literally right into a murder scene. Talk about being tossed into the deep end! To complicate things, his predecessor leaves without giving him any kind of briefing or workup. Also, Liam's old flame is standing right there on the tarmac by the fresh body, making it a totally “WTF?” moment. Before he can even begin to come to grips with the murder at the airport, Liam is called away on another incident.Liam never gets a chance to catch his breath as one incident follows on another. However, he doggedly presses on and eventually begins to tie the various threads of these seemingly disparate crimes together. Eventually we reach a conclusion with most of the bad guys paying for their crimes in one way or another.This story gives us lots of action with murder, assaults, and old mysteries. Also, there is some romance (integral to the story), and more than one colorful, oddball characters. (Additionally, I learned much more about herring fishing than I ever expected to know.)All in all, a good and interesting story.

I enjoyed this book by Dana Stebenow. “Fire and Ice”, the first book in the Liam Campbell series, finds Liam taking up a new posting as an Alaskan Trooper. On arriving at his destination he immediately finds himself with a murder to solve.
A good, quick read.
