Dead Time: A Dakota Mystery
It's dead time...

With everything terminally frozen in the Dakotas, Sheriff Karen Okerlund Mehaffey gets called out on a subzero Saturday morning to the local funeral home to investigate the death of a financial consultant who lived by the mantra "time is money."

Just getting to town is a challenge for a sleep-deprived Karen, made more difficult by an unexpected stowaway. But at least she and her detective-uncle Marek Okerlund dodge hosting a distant Swedish cousin who crashes their still-healing family—a member of which is suddenly threatened with a very short time on earth.

As suspects look to bolt back to their far-flung homes, Karen and Marek try to balance the job and their personal lives, with a renewed sense of the precious and fleeting nature of time, while the clock ticks down on nabbing a killer.

DEAD TIME is a character-driven police procedural. Fourteenth in series. Word Count: 77,000. Occasional profanity. Minimal gore.
