About this audiobook
Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell, newly promoted to corporal, is slowly making a home for himself in the remote town of Newenham. Between DUIs and domestic disputes, life is relatively tranquil, until Campbell's girlfriend, bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard, delivers a shipment of mail to a remote post office, where she finds the postmistress murdered. The hunt is on for a killer who seems to have vanished into the Bush... Until another victim is found. Chilling connections from the past make the search a matter of life and death.
At first they couldn't tell she was a woman, she was so covered in snow and frost and mud. Leaves and twigs were caught in hair so lank and matted they couldn't tell what color it was. Her blue jeans were soaked through. She was wearing tennis shoes, one of which was missing, and the white anklet on that foot was torn and the flesh beneath bleeding.
They were caught motionless in shock. The woman looked up at them and opened her mouth. Her voice was the merest croak of sound. "Help."
She tried to say more, but couldn't. "Help," she said again, and lay her head down on the floor and closed her eyes.
This is the third novel in the Liam Campbell series.

Reviews for Nothing Gold Can Stay

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dana Stabenow's other Alaska series if not a pale shadow or a limp clone. It stands well on its own with vibrant characters, lively action and set in that wondrously complex state, Alaska. She uses her intimate local knowledge and insights into its native American culture to generate multifaceted and complex stories about its denizens. This one discovers and tracks a long time serial killer as he pursues his latest victim.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked this one--the plot is sort of crazy and the reader/listner needs patience as all of the back stories and victims develop during the story. Stabenow clearly knows Alaska and does a great job writing about the location, people & culture. Some of the characters, Wy and Moses, for example, develop more fully. All of those things seem to enhance the story. Some of the characters and locations are fascinating. Sometimes,I lost track of which/where the characters existed. Like Clancy, the writing frequently jumps around and eventually gets tied together. Stabenow writes a highly charged story that grabs you from the first page and never lets go. Next, book 4.
