POLAR NIGHT by Julie Flanders

I know I said I would finish up with the Next Big Thing meme for Solomon's Compass today. But that was before I knew about Julie Flanders' cover reveal for Polar Night.

You all know Julie, right? She's a librarian and a freelance writer who has written for both online and print publications. Like me, Julie is an avid animal lover. She shares her home in Cincinnati, Ohio with her dog and cat. You can find Julie online at her blog, on Twitter, and on Facebook.

Julie and I have been blog buddies for a while, and I've been waiting for her book ever since I knew she was writing it.

Polar Night, a suspense thriller with a supernatural twist, is her first novel. It will be published by Ink Smith Publishing on February 7, 2013.

Now...doesn't that cover just make you want to know much more about that man?

Just so happens I can help with that :)

Here's the blurb:

When Detective Danny Fitzpatrick leaves his hometown of Chicago and moves to Fairbanks, Alaska he wants nothing more than to escape the violence and heartbreak that left his life in pieces. Numbed by alcohol and the frozen temperatures of an Alaskan winter, Danny is content with a dead-end job investigating Fairbanks' cold cases. That all changes when a pretty blond woman goes missing on the winter solstice, and Danny stumbles upon some surprising connections between her disappearance and that of another Fairbanks woman three years earlier. Forced out of his lethargy, Danny sets out to both find the missing woman and solve his own cold case.

The investigation points Danny towards Aleksei Nechayev, the handsome and charming proprietor of an old asylum turned haunted tourist attraction in the Arctic town of Coldfoot. As he tries to find a link between Nechayev and his case, Danny's instinct tells him that Nechayev is much more than what he seems.

Danny has no idea that Nechayev is hiding a secret that is much more horrifying than anything he could ever have imagined. As his obsession with finding the missing women grows, Danny finds his own life in danger. And when the truth is finally revealed, the world as he knows it will never be the same.
