From the Author
How we came to write POLAR CITY NIGHTMARE
After I finished POLAR CITY BLUES, I swore that I'd never write a sequel, but my good friend Kate Daniel kept wanting to read one. I kept saying I didn't have time. Since Kate's published a fair number of mystery novels on her own, the obvious solution finally occured to us: she'd do half the work! The result is POLAR CITY NIGHTMARE, which continues the adventures of Bobbie Lacey and Jack Mulligan. We hope you enjoy it.
