"Cold Storage, Alaska, is a remote fishing outpost where salmonberries sparkle in the morning frost and where you just might catch a King Salmon if you're zen enough to wait for it. Settled in 1935 by Norse fishermen, the town enjoyed prosperity at the height of the frozen fish boom. But now the cold storage plant is all but abandoned and the town is withering. Clive "The Milkman" McCahon returns to his tiny Alaska hometown after a 7-year jail stint. He has a lot to make up to his younger brother, Miles, who has been taking care of their ailing mother. But Clive doesn't realize the trouble he's bringing home. His vengeful old business partner is hot on his heels, and to complicate things, Clive might be going insane--lately, he's been hearing animals talking to him. Will his arrival be a breath of fresh air for the sleepy town? Or will his arrival turn the whole place upside down?"-- Back cover.
