Northern Lights
Nora Roberts, 2004
A burned-out Baltimore cop takes a job as police chief in a tiny Alaskan town and finds a place where everyone knows everyone—and something is badly wrong.
Nora Roberts
Nora Roberts writes about people who have been hurt and are quietly rebuilding, and the towns and families that take them in while they do. The romance is warm and the suspense is real, but the pull is the daily texture: shared meals, small-town gossip, work that matters. Start with «Northern Lights», where a burned-out Baltimore cop becomes police chief in a tiny Alaskan town, or «Chesapeake Blue», where a painter comes home to four brothers and a florist who has sworn off being charmed.
Feels like love, family and tenderness.
Start with Northern Lights.
Nora Roberts writes the In Death police procedurals as J. D. Robb; Northern Lights is set in the fictional Alaskan town of Lunacy.
What it feels like to see something too large to be real.
His only coherent thought as they shuddered along was that nothing real should be that massive. As the sun beamed God fingers through the heavy sky around it, the shadows began to drip and spread, blue over white, and its icy face glinted. Books by Nora Roberts
