Head of Zeus
Better to Rest
Better to Rest by Dana Stabenow
 Liam Campbell, 4

It seems the past has caught up with Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell.

After a party of hunters stumbles upon a desiccated human hand clutching an incredibly rare 'double-eagle' gold coin, Liam Campbell is led to the broken remains of a World War II-era transport plane emerging from the face of a calving glacier.

For some sixty years the glacier has held its secrets close: Who was on the ill-fated flight? What were they doing?

74-year-old Newenham matriarch Lydia Tompkins might have had the answers Campbell is looking for, but now she's dead too, murdered in her own home. And she won't be the last to die as a once-buried secret returns to haunt the present.
