A shot rings out.  A skiff is rammed by a large power boat and an old, Inuit seal hunter sinks into the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean.  Four hundred miles away Frank Johnson, a Yukon Territory homesteader, is killed and buried in his own trash pile. 

When American Lydia Falkner returns to her Yukon River cabin, she is unemployed, broke, and grieving for her father. She is seeking the peace and solitude that only her special sanctuary can offer. But her friend Frank’s death and the frustrating riddles he leaves behind make her a witness to an ever-widening conspiracy born of greed, deceit, and betrayal. 

Lydia’s search for answers carries her many miles through the magnificent landscapes of the Canadian north.  She and her battered skiff ride the waves and riffles of the Yukon River.  A remote gravel road carries her into the high Arctic of the Northwest Territories and into the orbit of an unscrupulous and dangerous business man. 

Each of Lydia’s journeys yields new revelations and each revelation puts her in greater danger.  When she finally uncovers the piece of evidence that ties everything together, she is forced to run for her life.

The Yukon Grieves for No One invites the reader to revisit the land of Jack London. There are Mounties and mountain men, grizzlies and wolves, Inuit and people of the First Nations, impostors and predatory entrepreneurs.  But this is a thoroughly modern story with a little sex, lots of humor, a sidekick with a Brooklyn accent, and a plot that twists, turns, and deepens much like the mighty Yukon River.

 

The Yukon Grieves for No One is the first book in Lynn Berk's Lydia Falkner series. the second is To Die Alone in the Yukon and the third and final Lady Luck Quits the Yukon.

Lynn Berk writes with wit, charm, and, great authority about the vast wilderness of the Yukon Territory.  She captures the rich and little known world of the far north as few writers have.   Her characters are juicy and real and seem to spring directly from that rugged and eccentric landscape.  She narrates her stories with the sure-handed prose and steady rising of suspense that we expect of our most accomplished novelists.
