Alaskan Alibi

Between 1978 and 1983, over 40 young girls vanished from the streets of Anchorage during the wild Alyeska Pipeline construction years. Their gruesome deaths at the hands of a serial killer and the consequences of the false alibi given by a cabinet maker and his wife, drive the plot. That alibi enabled the killer to abduct at least ten more girls and fly them into the Alaskan wilds where, at gunpoint, he forced them to flee nude across the dark icy tundra before executing them as prey. The aftermath is this fictionalized legal thriller. PETER FOSTER was one victim's father. He blamed the couple's alibi for his daughter's death. When he was later accused of murdering the cabinet maker, he called his friend and former law partner, Logan, to defend him. Logan, a law professor in Arizona, agreed to help. He enlists LACEY CARPENTER, a woman he can't commit to, nor live without, to be his co-counsel. Widely respected as a trial attorney in Alaska, Lacey was also a skilled bush pilot and commercial fisherman during the summer season. As Logan struggles with the PTSD suffered by him as a teenager after the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake, and much later, the death of his mother, he and Lacey uncover a network of corruption in the Anchorage Police Department. and a powerful evangelical church that concealed JACK JANSEN'S killings to rid the streets of prostitutes. The story depicts Alaska's beautiful, unforgiving landscape and the fierce independence of its residents. The Alaskan Alibi ends with a twist, as the final pages reveal the cabinet maker's killer.
