After years on the job as a private investigator in Sitka, Alaska, Cecil Younger doesn't claim to have learned much about humanity as a whole, but he does know this: truth is a slippery thing. When the wife of a former client comes to Cecil to ask for help finding her husband, Cecil agrees. After all, helping get Richard exonerated during a tragic murder trial three years ago had been one of the biggest successes of Cecil's career. But why, if Richard's name had been cleared, was he M.I.A. now? Patricia, Richard's steadfast wife, has one guess: someone is after Richard. It's no secret that Richard has a long list of enemies, not least of which are the family members of the dead. But things soon get complicated when Patricia is killed, sending Cecil on a desperate trip to sea to chase down the twisted truth.

Cold Water Burning is the most violent and disturbing of the six novels of John Straley. The central plot is underlined and enhanced by the natural violence that occurs in the Alaskan environment. He takes us (those who do not live in Alaska) into the wilderness and on the sea to give us an indepth glimpse of what it takes to combat and survive without the help of modern conveniences. His main characters are rough and ready and wonderfully real. Every book of John Starley is a joy to read.
