What this book is about
Nate Burke has come to the tiny Alaskan town of Lunacy to hide from his own life after a traumatic incident on the Washington D.C. force. The town — population small and characters large — draws him back to life. A local pilot named Meg Galloway accelerates the process. Northern Lights is Nora Roberts's romantic suspense — mystery embedded in a love story set against the extreme isolation of Alaska in winter.
