A Stranger in Town

by Kelley Armstrong

There is a town in the Yukon that does not exist on any map - where people can go to disappear; a place called Rockton.

In the sixth book of the series, Detective Casey Duncan must investigate a hostile attack that threatens the continued existence of her town. Armstrong provides a wonderful mix of mystery, Canadian geography, and action-packed storyline. Get it in hardcover, audio CD, and eBook.
