Lunacy, Alaska - population 506 - is Nate Burke's last chance. As a Baltimore cop, he had watched his partner die - and the guilt still haunts him. Maybe serving as Chief of Police in this tiny, remote town, where darkness falls by mid-afternoon and temperatures fall to below zero, will bring some kind of solace. It isn't as if he has anywhere else to go. Aside from sorting out a run-in between a couple of motor vehicles and a moose and pulling apart two brothers fighting overJohn Wayne's best movie Nate's first weeks on the job are relatively quiet. But as he wonders whether this was all a big mistake, an unexpected kiss from feisty bush pilot Meg Galloway under the brilliant Northern Lights of the Alaska sky lifts his spirit - and convinces him to stay just a little longer. Born and raised in Lunacy, Meg has learned to be independent. But there's something about Nate's sad eyes that gets under her skin, and warms her frozen heart. However, when two climbers find a corpse on the mountain, Nate discovers that Lunacy isn't quite the sleepy little backwater he imagined. Set in the beautiful Alaskan wilderness and full of wonderfully real characters, romance and mystery, this exciting page-turner is Nora Roberts' best novel yet.

Great Book
Gave beautiful descriptions of scenery and kept you guessing until the last moment about "who dun it" . It is a long book but reads very fast as you can't put it down. I would recommend it to anyone that likes a little mystery.

Well worth it
Nora Roberts spends eight hours a day at her desk. Since no one as successful as she could be doing this for financial gain, she must experience a deep need for contructing plots, researching background, and creating characters that draw her readers into emotional identification. Northern Lights is situated in Alaska, whose climate, ideosyncratic people, and extraordinary beauty she evokes in this tale. It is one of the romances in which she specializes, a mystery, and a story of emotional and moral regeneration. The cop whose life is re-born through his acceptance by a tough Alaskan town and the love of a tough Alaskan bush pilot, carries her usual punch of human drama. You like everybody but the villain, and cheer on the dogs.
