This novel takes place in the Yukon wilderness, where Detective Casey Butler and her husband Sheriff Eric Dalton have poured their life savings and inheritance into building a self-contained town called Haven’s Rock. Their goal is to create a safe haven for anyone who needs a fresh start and protection from the law.

From the moment I cracked open Murder at Haven’s Rock, I was hooked like a fish on a line. With each turn of the page, I found myself immersed in the world of Detective Casey Butler and Sheriff Eric Dalton, who have invested everything they have into creating a safe haven in the Yukon wilderness.
