This story swallowed me like the frigid black waters of Alaska swallow Cole every time he dives. Unlike Cole, I didn't let the limited air in an oxygen tank determine how long I stayed under. :)
It's been a while since I've read a good, tight suspense. The story is character driven, with Bailey and Cole leading the charge. Getting to know the rest of the McKenna clan is a bonus, and the carry over from one book to the next is seamlessly done. This story is about overcoming your past, and leaving it in the past. Bailey's struggle to believe that she is not who she used to be is one that we all face, and her journey to accepting her identity as a new creation is powerful.
If you are a fan of Dee Henderson's O'Malley series, I guarantee that you will love the Alaskan Courage series.
So come on- take the plunge! It's worth it.

Back Cover:
A sabotaged plane. Two dead deep-water divers.
One single clue.
Bailey Craig vowed never to set foot in Yancey, Alaska, again. She has a past, and a reputation--and Yancey's a town that doesn't forget. She's returned only to bury a loved one killed in the plane crash, but then dark evidence emerges and Bailey's own expertise becomes invaluable for the case.
Cole McKenna can face dangerous rescue dives. He can face the fear a murderer may be threatening his town. But facing the reality of Bailey's reappearance is a tougher challenge. She broke his heart...but doesn't seem to be the same girl who left Yancey ten years ago. And he's not the same guy she left behind.
Racing against the clock and a rising body count, Bailey and Cole must move beyond the hurts of their pasts to work together until the truth of what is hidden in the depths finally surfaces.
