Murder At Five Finger Light
Sue Henry
Sled dog racer Jessie Arnold stars in a series
that’s “suspenseful, intelligent, and filled with the
spectacular beauty of the northern wilds” (The Dallas
Morning News). Jessie has just gotten back together
with her ex-boyfriend and sleuthing partner, Alex Jensen,
and she’s looking forward to some peace and quiet. But
even deep in the wilderness, trouble has a way of finding
her. Jessie’s friends Laurie and Jim have acquired their dream—
an old lighthouse on the Alaskan Inside Passage—and
they’ve decided to throw a party. Not a party in the
typical sense, but one where guests earn their keep by
scraping, painting, hammering, and generally restoring
Five Finger Light, named after the long, low islands over
which the house stands guard. So Jesse decides to leave
Alex alone for a few days and help Laurie and Jim. With the company of old friends, the smell of fresh paint
in the air, and a view to die for, Jessie won’t soon
forget this weekend—especially when she stumbles across a
dead body. The death seems like an accident. But even as a
frantic Alex learns that someone’s cut the phone lines and
wrecked the radio, Jessie realizes there’s a killer loose
on the island. Worse yet, the killing spree might not be
over—even though the party certainly is....
