Wyoming Deputy Sheriff Gree Gooding has one mission: find her missing boss. The trail leads four thousand miles north?to Deadhorse, Alaska, an oil-drilling outpost clinging to the edge of the Arctic Circle. A place where daylight is rationed, where the cold can kill in minutes, and where her husband AJ, a petroleum geologist, vanished six months ago.
The clues don't just point to her boss's disappearance. They reach back into Gree's own past? to the Wyoming ranch she left behind, to the family secrets buried in its soil, and to the grief frozen like permafrost inside her.
When the investigation cinches around a decades-long cover-up ? a black ops program called Arc Dominion ? Gree realizes someone's been waiting for her. Someone knew she'd follow the thread. This was never about a missing sheriff. It's about the conspiracy AJ died trying to expose ? and whether she can finish what he started.
The cold doesn't forgive. It doesn't forget.
And it's about to give up its dead.
For fans of Yellowstone and The X-Files ? where neo-Western grit meets a decades-long government conspiracy buried beneath the Arctic ice.
