White Distance (Alaska Dogs Book 1)

The river is freezing. The medicine is missing. And the dog won't step onto the ice.

Alaska State Trooper Leah Sloane is the only cop on a long, roadless stretch of the Sheefish River when the first hard freeze comes in early. The mail plane that should have carried a village's medicine never arrives. When it turns up on a gravel bar across the river, landed, not crashed, its cargo is gone.

Leah goes after the thieves with Koda, a stubborn malamute–shepherd cross she was issued like a piece of equipment. Koda reads ice better than she does, and he keeps refusing the trail she wants to take. The men ahead of her are armed and moving fast, and out on the freeze-up a dog's refusal may be the only warning she gets.

White Distance is Book 1 of the Alaska Dogs series.
