An offbeat, often hilarious crime novel set in the sleepy Alaskan town of Cold Storage from the Shamus Award winning author of the Cecil Younger series.
 
Cold Storage, Alaska, is a remote fishing outpost where salmonberries sparkle in the morning frost and where you just might catch a King Salmon if you’re zen enough to wait for it. Settled in 1935 by Norse fishermen who liked to skinny dip in its natural hot springs, the town enjoyed prosperity at the height of the frozen fish boom. But now the cold storage plant is all but abandoned and the town is withering. 

Clive “The Milkman” McCahon returns to his tiny Alaska hometown after a seven-year jail stint for dealing coke. He has a lot to make up to his younger brother, Miles, who has dutifully been taking care of their ailing mother. But Clive doesn’t realize the trouble he’s bringing home. His vengeful old business partner is hot on his heels, a stick-in-the-mud State Trooper is dying to bust Clive for narcotics, and, to complicate everything, Clive might be going insane—lately, he’s been hearing animals talking to him. Will his arrival in Cold Storage be a breath of fresh air for the sleepy, depopulated town? Or will Clive’s arrival turn the whole place upside down?

Cold Storage Alaska by John Straley (Soho Press, 2013, 304 pgs, $26.95) represents that rare and delightful literary piece, the comic detective thriller. Set in the tiny former fishing village of Cold Storage, long since abandoned by the cannery that once provided its definition, Cold Storage clings to the side of a cliff, built on pilings and navigated on a decaying boardwalk. It is populated by a cast of quirky, sad, funny, and deperate characters searching meaning in their lives or to merely hang on. Author John Straley imbues these people with warmth, character (of a sort), and, ultimately, a meaningfulness that makes this novel a delicious read as it entertains and requires re-examination of some ideas and prejudices.

Miles McCahon serves as the local EMT in a town much too small to contain either its own doctor or a professional clinic. From there he repairs minor injuries, provides dosages of safe and easy drugs, despatches people needing more serious medical care to neaby Sitka via helicopter, and through his mild and caring ministry serves as an amateur mental health worker, too. Miles is himself a pretty damaged person, a former Navy Seal returned from Afghanistan and seeking peace and tranquility in his home town. The novel open with Miles older brother Clive's release from prison in Washington State after serving a drug term and keeping his mouth shut. He retrieves his ill gotten gains, acquires a badly damaged guard dog as his companion, and heads for home seeking his own peace. The book is filled with a cast of quirky characters, life's dead enders, interacting in this wet, chilly southeastern Alaska environment where fishing is the only source of income, and drinking the sole source of entertainment.
