Murder, horror, and intrigue all collide in four short stories in Night Mute Alaska. Red Beard, a man-eating Polar bear, has haunted the frozen grounds of the Alaskan Triangle for twenty years. He is believed to be a ghost by some. To others, he is simply an apex killing machine. Story two, Sackman, an infamous serial killer, has been quiet for years since he last tortured and murdered five women. But now, in an effort to generate a buzz and finances in a dying community, a greedy sheriff and a reluctant female officer agree to create new heinous crimes and point to the return of the Sackman. And return he does. A former striptease dancer steals money from a small crime family and flees to the frozen bush, hoping to disappear from sight. But no one forgets about half a million dollars. William Timbers is a lovable giant of a man who is also a pathological liar. His safe marriage in a well-to-do family is threatened, and to save face, he sets out to do the impossible: to kill Red Beard.
