In the Barren Ground Audiobook (Free)

In the Barrens, a vast wilderness in northern Canada bordering the Arctic Circle, night consumes every hour of the wintertime. Human beings are scarce; ferocious predators roam freely. Locals say spirits do, too.

Rookie cop Tana Larsson doesn’t mind the dark and quiet. Five a few months pregnant and hoping to flee the errors of her past, she takes a post in Twin Rivers, population 320. Maybe here she will get tranquility and community on her behalf child.

But with her better out of payment, Tana becomes the only real officer in 17,500 square mls. One bitter night time, she gets a call about the fatal wolf mauling of two students, and the only path to reach the remote scene is definitely to enlist assistance from the arrogant, irritatingly attractive Cameron “Crash” O’Halloran, a local bush pilot using a shady status for smuggling and a previous cloaked in shadow.

When the macabre picture they uncover suggests violence a lot more sinister than animal, Tana must trust Crash if she wants to protect the town-and herself-from the evil that lurks in the frozen dark.
