Cold Storage, Alaska John Straley Hardcover Novel Book
Cold Storage, Alaska
Author: John StraleyPublisher: Brand: Soho CrimeCategory: Contemporary Fiction, Crime, Crime FictionBook Format: HardcoverOnce a robust commercial outpost, Cold Storage, Alaska, has seen better days. Nearly everyone in town is either clinically depressed or perpetually drunk. Having just served a seven-year prison stint for his drug dealing days, Clive Cahon has every right to be both, but instead of hunkering down, he hatches a scheme. Using the money he may or may not have lifted from his previous crime partner, he opens a bar, Mouse Miller's Love Nest (named after a colorful local who was recently murdered). When Clive learns about a strange town ordinance that requires there to be as many churches as there are bars, he starts holding worship services at the bar on Sunday mornings, complete with scripture readings, sermons (which he delivers), and a lively band. But just when he thinks he's successfully shed his old life, a police officer from the neighboring city starts poking around the bar--and something tells Clive the cop isn't there to drink or listen to a sermon...
About John Straley
The youngest of five children, John Straley was born in Redwood City, California, in 1953. He received a BA in English from the University of Washington and, at the urging of his parents, a certificate of completion in horse shoeing. John never saw himself living in Alaska (where there are no horses left to shoe), but when his wife, Jan, a prominent whale biologist, announced she was taking a job in Sitka, the two headed north and never left. John worked for thirty years as a criminal defense investigator in Sitka, and many of the characters that fill his books were inspired by his work. Now retired, he lives with his wife in a bright green house on the beach and writes in his weather-tight office overlooking Old Sitka Rocks. The former Writer Laureate of Alaska, he is the author of ten novels.(BK-9781616953065)
