Saint Michael’s Pain

Murder and Mystery in the Last Frontier

Imagine a small town where, between 1968 and 1983, the clergy sexually abused eighty percent of the children -- a village where today, the city government is forced to hire police officers with extensive criminal records, including domestic violence, because there is no state law enforcement in this remote area of Alaska. Imagine this same community where the violent murder of a young woman remains unsolved six years after her body was found bruised and bloody on a lonely beach. Now, put this village on an island at the southeastern end of Norton Sound, where it is exposed to the Bering Sea and some of the most hazardous weather in the world. This is the village of St. Michael, Alaska. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ NOW AVAILABLE! __________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Join Beach Blanket Books—a Facebook Event.
